Verse 1:
G D
Don't sing love songs you'll wake my mother,
G D
She's sleeping here right by my side,
Em C D
And in her right hand, a silver dagger
G C D
She says that I can't be your bride
Verse 2:
G D
All men are false, says my mother,
G D
They'll tell you wicked, lovin' lies.
Em C D
The very next evening, they'll court another,
G C D
Leave you alone to pine and sigh.
Verse 3:
G D
My daddy is a handsome devil
G D
He's got a chain five miles long,
Em C D
And on every link a heart does dangle
G C D
Of another maid he's loved and wronged.
