Don't sing love soCngs - you'll wake your moFther;
She's lying thCere - right by your sDmide;
And in her right haA#nd, a silver daGmgger;
She says that I canDm't be your briCde.
"All maids are faClse," says your moFther -
"They'll tell you wicCked, winning liDmes,
And the very next evA#ening they'll love anoGmther,
Leave you alonDme to pine and crCy."
"Go find yourseClf a rich young maidFen
And hope that sChe will be your wDmife,
For I've been warnA#ed and I've deciGmded
To live aloDmne all of my liCfe."

Chords in this song · guitar

C F

Don't sing love songs - you'll wake your mother;

C Dm

She's lying there - right by your side;

A# Gm

And in her right hand, a silver dagger;

Dm C

She says that I can't be your bride.

C F

"All maids are false," says your mother -

C Dm

"They'll tell you wicked, winning lies,

A# Gm

And the very next evening they'll love another,

Dm C

Leave you alone to pine and cry."

C F

"Go find yourself a rich young maiden

C Dm

And hope that she will be your wife,

A# Gm

For I've been warned and I've decided

Dm C

To live alone all of my life."
