Am    D             G
Don't sing love songs you'll wake my mother,
               Am   D           C     D#
She's sleeping here right by my side,
           G          Em              Am
And in her right hand, a silver dagger
D             C      Am         D    Eb
She says that I   can't be your bride


             A#m      D#       G#
All men are false, so says my mother,
                A#m      D#          C#     E
They'll tell you wicked, and sinful lies.
                 G#         Fm           A#m
And the very next day, they'll court another,
D#         C#       A#m     D#    E
Leave you alone to pine and sigh.


         Bm   E             A
Go court another fair young maiden,
              Bm  E            D     F
And hope that she will be your wife,
              A      F#m    Bm
For I've been warned, and I desire
E          D   Bm     E
To sleep alone all of my life.
           A     F Dm A
All of my liiiiiiiife
