" Don't sing love songs, you'll wake my mother! She's sleeping here right by my side and in her right hand, a silver dagger. She says I can't be your bride... All men are false, says my mother 😲 They'll tell you wicked lovin lies. The very next evening, they will call another and leave you alone, to pine inside... My daddy is a handsome devil. He's got a chain, 5 miles long. And on every link, a heart does dangle of another maid, he's loved and wronged... Go court another tender maiden and hope she will be your wife... For I've been warned, and I've decided to sleep alone, All Of My Life 😩"
