Silver Dagger Lyrics - The Grass Is Blue - Dolly Parton

Don't sing love songs 

You'll wake my mother 

She's sleeping here right by my side 

In her right hand is 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 someother 

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, ohhh

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, ohh... 

Beware, beware, a silver dagger
