Intro:
Verse:
Don't sing your songs, you'll wake my father
He's sleeping here, right by my side
And in his hand, a silver dagger,
He says that you can't be me bride.
Verse:
All women are false, so says my father,
They'll tell you wicked, lovin' lies.
The very next day, they'll court another,
Leave you alone to pine and sigh.

Verse:
My mommy is a awful devil
She's got a chain five miles long,
And on every link a heart does dangle
Of another man she's loved and wronged.
Verse:
So go and court some other sucker,
And hope that you can't be his wife,
For I've been warned, and I've decided
To sleep alone, for all of my life.
