White Antelope
Silver Dagger
Don't sing love songs; you'll wake my motherShe's sleeping here, right by my sideAnd in her right hand, a silver daggerShe says that I can't be your bride.All men are false, says my motherThey'll tell you wicked, lovin' liesThe very next evening, they'll court anotherLeave you alone to pine and sigh.My daddy is a handsome devilHe's got a chain five miles longAnd on every link a heart does dangleOf another maid he's loved and wronged.Go court another tender maidenAnd hope that she will be your wifeFor I've been warned and I've decidedTo sleep alone all of my life.
