Ebony Buckle - Silver Dagger

                        C                        F
Don't sing love songs - you'll wake your mother;
              C                    Dm
She's lying there - right by your side;
                   A#             Gm
And in her right hand, a silver dagger;
                   Dm            C
She says that I can't be your bride.

                 C                 F
"All maids are false," says your mother -
                     C              Dm
"They'll tell you wicked, winning lies,
                    A#                    Gm
And the very next evening they'll love another,
              Dm              C
Leave you alone to pine and cry."

               C                   F
"Go find yourself a rich young maiden
               C                Dm
And hope that she will be your wife,
                  A#              Gm
For I've been warned and I've decided
           Dm             C
To live alone all of my life."
