[C] [F] [C] [F]
[F] Don't sing [C] love songs you'll [F] wake my mother,
She's sleeping [C] here right by [Dm] my side,
And in her [Bb] right hand, a silver [Gm] dagger
She says [Dm] that I [Bb] can't be your [C] bride
All [C] men are false, says [F] my mother,
They'll tell you [C] wicked, lovin' [Dm] lies.
The very next [Bb] evening, they'll court a-[Gm]nother,
Leave you a-[Dm]lone to [Bb] pine and [C] sigh.
My [C] daddy is a handsome [F] devil
He's got a [C] chain five miles [Dm] long,
And on every [Bb] link a heart does [Gm] dangle
Of another [Dm] maid he's [Bb] loved and [C] wronged.
Go [C] court another tender [F] maiden,
And hope that [C] she will be your [Dm] wife,
For I've been [Bb] warned, and I've de-[Gm]cided
To sleep a-[Dm]lone [Bb] all of my [C] life. [Bb] [C]
