Silver Dagger Lyrics

Don't sing love songs, you'll wake my mother
She's sleeping here right by my side
And in her right hand a silver dagger
She says that I can't be your bride
All men are false, says my mother
They'll tell you wicked, lovin' lies
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 court another tender maiden
And hope that she will be your wife
For I've been warned and I've decided
To sleep alone all of my life

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Barefoot Contessa

Guitarist Graham Gargiulo and singer Helene Dineen meet at a PJ Harvey gig while studying in London. Graham has previously achieved some success with The Charlottes, but Helene had to turn down a record deal with Alan McGee of Creation Records when she was only fifteen. They co-write songs and soon form Barefoot Contessa with mutual friends Dinesh Des Bhatt on bass and former Thrilled Skinny drummer Andy Kingston. The band's name is taken from the 1954 film starring Humphrey Bogart and Ava Gardner, a particular favourite of Helene's.
