Silver Dagger

C F Don't sing love songs - you'll wake your mother; C Dm She's lying there - right by your side; A# Gm And in her right hand, a silver dagger; Dm C She says that I can't be your bride. C F "All maids are false," says your mother - C Dm "They'll tell you wicked, winning lies, A# Gm And the very next evening they'll love another, Dm C Leave you alone to pine and cry." C F "Go find yourself a rich young maiden C Dm And hope that she will be your wife, A# Gm For I've been warned and I've decided Dm C To live alone all of my life."
