"Silver Dagger" Lyrics

4.5 / 5
Song updated, review now!
(Dolly Parton)

Don't sing love songs you'll wake my mother
She's sleeping here right by my side
In her right hand is a silver dagger
She says that I can't be your bride.

All men are fools so says my mother
They'll tell you wicked lovin' and lies
The very next evening they'll court someother
Leave you alone to pine and sigh.

My daddy is a handsome devil
He's got a chain five miles long
From every link a heart does dangle
Of another maid he's loved and wronged, ohhh.

--- Instrumental ---

Go court another tender maiden
And hope that she might be your wife
For I've been warned so I've decided
I'll sleep alone all of my life, oh.

Beware, beware, a silver dagger...
