Intro: C G Verse: C G C Don't sing love songs, you'll wake my mother G Am She's sleepin' close by my side Am Dm And in her right hand, she holds a dagger Am G And says that I shan't be your bride Verse: G C All men are false, says my mother G Am They'll tell you wicked lovely lies Am Dm And the very next evening court another Am G Leaving you alone to pine and sigh
Verse: G C My father is a handsome devil G Am He's got a chain that's five miles long Am Dm From every link a heart does dangle Am G Of some poor maid he's loved and wronged Break: G G C C G G Am Am Am Am Dm Dm Am Am G G Verse: G C Wish that I was some little sparrow G Am Yes, one of those that flies so high Am Dm I'd fly away to my heart's true lover Am G And when he'd speak I would deny Verse: G C All on his breast I'd light and flutter G Am With my little tender wings Am Dm I'd ask him who he meant to flatter Am G Or who he meant to deceive Verse: G C Go court some other tender lady G Am And hope that she will be your wife Am Dm Cause I been warned and I've decided Am G To sleep alone all of my life
