O, don't sing love songs, you'll wake my mother
She's sleeping here, right by my side
And in her hand, a silver dagger
She says that I can't be your bride
All men are false, says my mother
They tell you wicked, loving lies
And then go on to court another
They'll leave you 'ere the sun does rise
My father is a handsome devil
He wears a chain now five miles long
And on every link a heart does dangle
Of another maiden he's loved and wronged
Go court another tender maiden
And pray that she will be your wife
For I've been warned and I've decided
To sleep alone for all my life
O, don't sing love songs, you'll wake my mother
She's sleeping here, right by my side
And in her hand, a silver dagger
She says that I can't be your bride.
