The Silver Dagger
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Don't sing love songs, you'll wake my mother
She's sleeping here right by my side
In her right hand a silver dagger
She says that I can't be your bride
All men are fools, so says my mother
They'll tell you again love and lies
And then they'll go and court some other
Leave you alone to pine inside
My daddy is a handsome devil
He's got a chain five miles long
On every link a heart does dangle
Of another maid he's loved and wronged
Go court another tender maiden
In hopes that she might be your wife
For I've been warned, so I decided
I'll sleep alone all of my life
Don't sing love songs, you'll wake my mother
She's sleeping here right by my side
In her right hand a silver dagger
She says that I can't be your bride
