Silver Dagger

(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 brideAll men are fools

So says my mother

They'll tell you again

Love and lies

And then they'll go

And court someother

Leave you alone to pine insideMy daddy is a handsome devil

He's got a chain five miles long

On every link, a heart does dangle

Of another maid he's loved and wronged, ohhhGo court another tender maiden

In hopes that she might be your wife

For I've been warned so I decided

I'll sleep alone all of my life, ohh...Beware, beware, a silver dagger

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
