[C#]
[F#]
[C#] [F#]
[C#] Don't sing love songs, [F#] you'll wake my mother.
She's [C#] sleeping here, [D#m] right by my side.
And in [B] her right hand, [G#m] silver dagger.
She [D#m] says that I [B] can't [C#] be your bride.
[A#m] [C#]
All men are false, says [F#] my mother.
They'll tell [C#] you wicked [D#m] loving lies.
The very [B] next evening, they'll [G#m] court another.
Leave you alone [G#]
[B] to [C#] pine and cy.
[D#m] [C#]
My [C#] daddy is a [F#] handsome devil.
He's got a [C#]
chain five [D#m] miles long.
And on [G#m] every [B] link, a heart does dangle.
Of [D#m] another maid, [B]
he's [C#] loved and wrong.
[B] [A#m]
[C#]
Go court [C#] [A#] another [F#] tender maiden.
And hope [C#] that she will [D#m]
[B] arrive in war.
[G#m] And I've decided to [D#m] sleep alone [B] all [F#] of my [C#] life.
[B] [C#]
