Can't sing love songs, I'll wake your mother
She's sleeping there, right by your side
And in her right hand, a silver dagger
She says that you can't be my bride.

Your daddy is a handsome devil
Got a chain five miles long
On every link a heart does dangle
Of another woman he's loved and wronged

Silver dagger I fought in vain
A cruel mother's scar
And a long Devi'ls chain

I will find a new love darling
Hope that she might be my bride
'Cos you've been warned and you decided
To sleep alone all of you life

To sleep alone
Silver dagger
To sleep alone
Silver dagger.....
