Silver Dagger

                                    A                                     D
Don't sing love songs, you'll wake my mother
                                  A                           Bm
She's sleeping here right by my side
                                      G                     Em
And in her right hand a silver dagger,
                            Bm                             A
She says that I can't be your bride.
                          A                               D
All men are false, says my mother,
                                    A                           Bm
They'll tell you wicked, lovin' lies.
                                    G                                       Em
The very next evening, they'll court another,
                        Bm                             A
Leave you alone to pine and sigh.
                                                  D
My daddy is a handsome devil
                          A                             Bm
He's got a chain five miles long,
                              G                                 Em
And on every link a heart does dangle
                        Bm                                     A
Of another maid he's loved and wronged.
                                                      D
Gºcourt
                              A                               Bm
And hope that she will be your wife,
                                G                                 Em
For I've been warned, and I've decided
                      Bm                           A
To sleep alone all of my life.
