Intro: G --->
--------> D* D G
Don't sing love songs, you'll wake my mother
D* D Em
She's sleeping here, right by my side
C Am
And in her right hand, a silver dagger
Em C D
She said that I, can't be your bride
D* D G
All men are false, said my mother
D* D Em
They'll tell you wicked, loving lies
C Am
And the very next evenin', they'll court another
Em C D
Leave you alone, to pine and sigh
D* D G
My daddy he's, a handsome devil
D* D Em
He's got a chain, 5 miles long
C Am
And on every link, a heart does dangle
Em C D
Of another maid, he's loved and wronged
D* D G
So court another, tender maiden
D* D Em
And hope that she, will be your wife
C Am
For I have been warned, and I've decided
Em C D
To sleep alone, all of my life
