歌词
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, loving lies
And 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 wrong
So court another tender maiden
And hope that she will be your wife
For I have been warned, and I have decided
To sleep alone, all of my life
♪
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
