Don't sing love songs to wake my mother
She's lying here right by my side
In her right hand a silver dagger
She says I can't be your bride
All men are false, says my mother
They tell you wicked and loving lies
And the very next evening they'll court another
Leave you alone to pine and sigh
My daddy is a handsome devil
He's got a chain five miles long
And on every link a heart does dangle
Of another maid he's loved and wronged
Go find another tender maiden
And hope that she will be your wife
'Cause I've been warned and I've decided
To sleep alone all my life
