Barbara Dane - Don't Sing Love Songs текст песни

Исполнитель: Barbara Dane

альбом: Anthology of American Folk Songs


Don't sing love songs, you'll wake my mother
She's sleeping close by my side
And in her right hand, she holds a dagger
And says that I shan't be your bride
All men are false, says my mother
They'll tell you wicked, lovely lies
And the very next evening, court another
Leaving you alone to pine and sigh
My father is a handsome devil
He's got a chain that's five miles long
On every link a heart does dangle
Of some poor maid he's loving wrong
Wish that I was some little sparrow
Yes, one of those that fly so high
I'd fly away to my heart's true lover
And when he'd speak I would deny
All on his breast I'd lie and flutter
With my little tender wings
I'd ask him who he meant to flatter
Or who he meant to deceive
Go court some other, tender lady
And I hope that she will be your wife
'Cause I've been warned and I've decided
To sleep alone all of my life
