Silver Dagger Lyrics by Run Boy Run

So Sang the Whippoorwill

2013

Don't sing love songs--you'll wake my mother
She's sleeping here right by my side
And in her right hand is a silver dagger
She says that I can't be your bride
All men are false, says my mother
They'll tell you wicked and lovin' lies
Then the very next evening they'll court another
Leave you alone to pine and sight
My daddy is a handsome Devil
He's got a chain five miles long
And on every link a heart does dangle
For another maid he's loved and wronged
I bid you go and court another
Make sure that she will be your wife
For I've been warned and I've decided
To sleep alone all of my life
Don't sing love songs--you'll wake my mother
She's sleeping here right by my side
And in her right hand is a silver dagger
She says that I can't be your bride
