Mary Hopkin — Silver Dagger - Live at the Royal Festival Hall

[Intro] (This next song is called "Silver Dagger") [Verse 1] Don't sing love songs, you'll wake my mother She's sleeping here right by my side And in her right hand a silvery dagger She says that I can't be your wife [Verse 2] "All men are false" says my mother "They'll tell you wicked love and lies The very next evening they'll court another Leave you alone to pine and sigh" [Verse 3] My daddy is a handsome devil He's got a chain five miles long And on every link a heart does dangle Of another maid he's loved and wronged [Verse 4] Go court another tender maiden And hope that she will be your wife For I have been warned, and I've decided To sleep alone all of my life [Outro] (Thank you, thank you)
