silver dagger Songtext
von Jess Joy

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
Loving lies
The very next evening
They′ll court another
Leave you alone
To pine and sigh"

My daddy′s a handsome devil
He's got a chain
Five miles long
And on every link
A heart does dangle
From another maid
He′s loved and wronged

Go court another
Tender maiden
And hope that she
Will be your bride
For I have been warned
And I've decided
To sleep alone
All of my life
