Silver Dagger Songtext
von Said the Maiden

Oh, don′t sing love songs, they'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
And with the next breath, they′ll court another
They′ll leave you ere the sun does rise

My daddy is a handsome devil
He wears a chain, oh, five miles long
And on every link, a heart does dangle
Of another maid he's loved and wronged

So court and love this elder maiden
And hope that she will be your wife
For I′ve been warned and I've decided
To sleep alone for all my life
