Joan Baez - Silver Dagger Lyrics
Don't sing love songsYou'll wake my motherShe's sleeping here right by my sideIn her right hand, a silver daggerShe says that I can't be your brideAll men are falseSays my motherThey'll tell you wickedLovin' liesAnd then the very next eveningThey'll court anotherLeave you alone to pine and sighMy daddy is a handsome devilHe's got a chain five miles longOn every link, a heart does dangleOf another maid he's loved and wronged, ohhhGo court another tender maidenIn hopes that she might be your wifeFor I've been warned so I've decidedTo sleep alone all of my life
