Intro: D
Don't sing love soAngs, you'll wake my mDother
She's sleeping heAre right by my sBmide
And in her right haGnd a silver dEmagger,
She says that BmI can't be your brAide.
All men are fAalse, says my mothDer,
They'll tell you wAicked, lovin' liBmes.
The very next evenGing, they'll court anoEmther,
Leave you alBmone to pine and siAgh.
My daddy is a handsome deDvil
He's got a chAain five miles loBmng,
And on every liGnk a heart does danEmgle
Of another mBmaid he's loved and wroAnged.
Go court another tender maiDden,
And hope that sAhe will be your wiBmfe,
For I've been waGrned, and I've deciEmded
To sleep alBmone all of my lifAe.
Lovely little song originally by Joan Baez, covered by the Fleet Foxes in 2009
