Silver Dagger Songtext / Lyric

All men are false

sais my mother

they'll tell

you wicked

loathsome lies

the very next

evening They'll

court another

Leave you alone to

pine and cry



Don't sing

love songs,

you'll wake

my mother

she's sleeping here,

right by my side

in her right hand

a silver dagger






she sais:

you will not

be his bride



My daddy is a

handsome devil

he wares a chain,

five miles long

and in each link,

a heart

does dangle

for another maid

he's loved

and wronged



Don't sing

love songs,

you'll wake

my mother

she's sleeping here,

right by my side

in her right hand

a silver dagger



she sais:

you will not

be his bride



Go, court

another young

tender maiden

I'm sure

she can be

your bride

I've been warned

and I have decided

to sleep alone

for the rest od

my life



Don't sing

love songs,

you'll wake

my mother

she's sleeping here,

right by my side

in her right hand

a silver dagger



she sais:

you will not

be his bride
