Lyrics
Don't sing love songs, you’ll wake my mother
She's sleeping here, right by my side
And in her right hand, a silver dagger
She says that I can't be your bride
"All men are false," said my mother
"They’ll tell you wicked, loving lies
And the very next evening, they'll court another
Leave you alone to pine and sigh"
My daddy, he's a handsome devil
He's got a chain five miles long
And on every link, a heart does dangle
Of another maid he's loved and wronged
So court another tender maiden
And hope that she will be your wife
For I have been warned and I've decided
To sleep alone all of my life

This rendition deserves 10000 times of views it has now

I have been listening to this nonstop. Last week, I was front row at Massey Hall as Robin sang this unplugged, just belting into the hall. I still get chills thinking about it.

So so so lucky. Glad you got to experience that. Jelly/10

This is straight out of some enchanted wood on Sunday in late afternoon where the gold light filters through. That FF sound just takes you to deep places.

[@LobsterHaunting]

this is my favorite version of this song

[@BigElectricCat]

Damn right , I’ve heard the original version and others. This is by far the GOAT!

[@melinaaraya8886]

I agree, this is just perfection, love it!

[@camaroness]

[@isabellaescamilla7903]

Don't sing love songs
You'll wake my mother
She's sleeping here, right by my side
And in her right hand, a silver dagger
She said, that I can't be your bride
All men are false, said my mother
They'll tell you wicked, lovin' lies
And the very next evening, they'll court another
Leave you alone to pine and sigh
My daddy, he's a handsome devil
He's got a chain five miles long
And on every link, a heart does dangle
Of another maid, he's loved and wronged
So court another tender maiden
And hope that she will be your wife
For I've been warned and I've decided
To sleep alone all of my life
Don't sing love songs
You'll wake my mother
She's sleeping here, right by my side
And in her right hand, a silver dagger
She says, that I can't be your bride

[@joshua_miller]

This isn’t a wildly sad song or anything but it makes me cry every time

[@to5122]

Incredible stuff, love the album.

[@TerryTerryTerry]

A traditional folk song - probably of English origin.
