[Verse 1]
                                    C/G
Don't sing love songs, you'll wake my mother
             G5             Am
She's sleeping here right by my side
               Fmaj7/C        Dm
And in her right hand a silver dagger
              Am Fmaj7/C     G5
She says that I can't be your bride


[Verse 2]
                            C/G
All men are false, so says my mother
                 G5           Am
They'll tell you wicked loving lies
                Fmaj7/C           Dm
And then they'll go, and court some other
          Am Fmaj7/C      G5
Leave you alone to pine inside

[Verse 3]
                         C/G
My father was a handsome devil
         G5              Am
He had a chain five miles long
        Fmaj7/C           Dm
On every link a heart does dangle
           Am Fmaj7/C           G5
Of another maid he's loved and wronged

[Verse 4]
                           C/G
So go court another tender maiden
               C/G            Am
And hope that she might be your bride
             Fmaj7/C          Dm
For I've been warned, and I've decided
          Am  Fmaj7/C        G5
I'll sleep alone all of my life
