Don't sing love songs, you'll wake my mother |
| [00:17.43] |
She's sleeping here right by my side |
| [00:24.31] |
And in her right hand a silver dagger |
| [00:30.92] |
She says that I can't be your bride. |
| [00:44.39] |
All men are false, says my mother |
| [00:51.00] |
They'll tell you wicked, lovin' lies. |
| [00:57.61] |
The very next evening, they'll court another |
| [01:04.14] |
Leave you alone to pine and sigh. |
| [01:17.50] |
My daddy is a handsome devil |
| [01:24.11] |
He's got a chain five miles long |
| [01:30.88] |
And on every link a heart does dangle |
| [01:37.70] |
Of another maid he's loved and wronged. |
| [01:51.05] |
Go court another tender maiden, |
| [01:57.32] |
And hope that she will be your wife |
| [02:03.96] |
For I've been warned, and I've decided |
| [02:10.62] |
To sleep alone all of my life. |
