Don't sing your songs, you'll wake my father

He's sleeping here, right by my side

And in his hand, a silver dagger,
Em D
He says that you can't be me bride.

Verse:

All women are false, so says my father,

They'll tell you wicked, lovin' lies.

The very next day, they'll court another,
Em D
Leave you alone to pine and sigh.

Verse:
D G
My mommy is a awful devil
D Em
She's got a chain five miles long,

And on every link a heart does dangle
Em D
Of another man she's loved and wronged.

Verse:
D G
So go and court some other sucker,
D Em
And hope that you can't be his wife,

To sleep alone, for all of my life.
