Silver Dagger (Live at Philharmonic Hall, New York, NY - October 1964)

[Verse 1: Joan Baez]
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

[Verse 2: Joan Baez]
All men are false, says my mother
They'll tell you wicked, loving lies
The very next evening, they'll court another
Leave you alone to pine and sigh

[Verse 3: Joan Baez]
My daddy is 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

[Verse 4: Joan Baez]
Go 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
