Generate meaning
1
Don't sing love songs; you'll wake my mother
2
She's sleeping here, right by my side
3
And in her right hand, a silver dagger
4
She says that I can't be your bride.
5
All men are false, says my mother
6
They'll tell you wicked, lovin' lies
7
The very next evening, they'll court another
8
Leave you alone to pine and sigh.
9
My daddy is a handsome devil
10
He's got a chain five miles long
11
And on every link a heart does dangle
12
Of another maid he's loved and wronged.
13
Go court another tender maiden
14
And hope that she will be your wife
15
For I've been warned and I've decided
16
To sleep alone all of my life.
Joan Baez - Silver Dagger
