Don't sing love songs, you'll wake my mother 
             G5             Am 
She's sleeping here right by my side 
               Fmaj7/C        Dm

She says that I can't be your bride

All men are false, so says my mother

They'll tell you wicked loving lies

And then they'll go, and court some other

Leave you alone to pine inside

My father was a handsome devil

Of another maid he's loved and wronged

I'll sleep alone all of my life
