Silver Dagger

from After You by The Vermeers

/

lyrics

Don't sing me love songs, you'll wake my mother
She's sleepin' here right by my side
And in her right hand is a silver dagger
She says that I can never be your bride

All men are false, so says my mother
They tell you wicked, lovin' lies
The very next evening they'll court another
Leave you alone to pine and sigh

My daddy is a handsome wrangler
He's got a chain five miles long
From every link, dear, a heart does dangle
From some fair maid he's loved and wronged

Go court another tender maiden
And then someday she'll be your wife
For I've been warned and I've decided
To live alone all of my life

Don't sing me love songs, you'll wake my mother
She's sleepin' here right by my side
And in her right hand is a silver dagger
She says that I can never be your bride
