ALL MEN ARE FALSE SAIS MY MOTHER
THEY`LL TELL YOU WICKED LOATHSOME LIES
THE VERY NEXT EVENING THEY`LL COURT ANOTHER
LEAVE YOU ALONE TO PINE AND CRY
DON`T SING LOVE SONGS, YOU`LL WAKE MY MOTHER
SHE`S SLEEPING HERE, RIGHT BY MY SIDE
IN HER RIGHT HAND A SILVER DAGGER
SHE SAIS: YOU WILL NOT BE HIS BRIDE
MY DADDY IS A HANDSOME DEVIL
HE WEARS A CHAIN, FIVE MILES LONG
AND IN EACH LINK, A HEART DOES DANGLE FOR ANOTHER
MAID HE`S LOVED AND WRONGED
GO, COURT ANOTHER YOUNG TENDER MAIDEN
I`M SURE SHE CAN BE YOUR BRIDE
I`VE BEEN WARNED AND I HAVE DECIDED
TO SLEEP ALONE FOR THE REST OF MY LIVE
