Vells - Silver Dagger lyrics

Don't sing love songs you'll wake my mother She's sleeping here right by my side And in her right hand, a silver dagger She says that I can't be your bride All men are false so says my mother They'll tell you wicked, loving lies And the very next evening they'll court another Leave you alone to pine and sigh My daddy he is a handsome devil He's got a chain five miles long And on every link, a heart does dangle Of another maid he's loved and wronged Go find another tender maiden And hope that she will be your wife For I have been warned, and I've decided To sleep alone all of my life
