Eliza & Martin Carthy - Waking Dreams lyrics

Oh, don't sing love songs, you'll wake my mother She's sleepin' here, right by my side & in her right hand, a silver dagger She says that I can't be yo bride All men are false, says my mother They tell you wicked, luvin' lies & in the next breath they'll court another They'll leave you ere the sun does rise My daddy is a handsome devil He has a chain five miles long On every link a heart does dangle Of another maid he's luved & wronged Oh then go home 2 yo own garden Oh then go home, return no more No other man may come a'courtin' No other luver cross my door Oh, don't sing love songs, you'll wake my mother She's sleepin' here, right by my side & in her right hand, a silver dagger She says that I can't be yo bride
