Silver Dagger lyrics
Song information
Artist: Joan Baez Album: Joan Baez
Lyrics
(Traditional)
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, says my mother They'll tell you wicked, lovin' lies The very next evening, they'll court another Leave you alone to pine and sigh
My daddy 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 court another tender maiden And hope that she will be your wife For I've been warned, and I've decided To sleep alone all of my life
