Скачать или смотреть Silver Dagger - traditional folk ballad - unaccompanied vocal - a cappella Joan Baez inspired

Silver Dagger", or "Katy Dear", is an American folk ballad, first published in 1907. It likely traces its roots to the British Isles of late 19th century, though possibly much earlier.
In "Silver Dagger", the narrator turns away a potential suitor, as her mother has warned her to avoid the advances of men in an attempt to spare her daughter the heartbreak that she herself has endured. The 1960 recording by Joan Baez features only a few of the many verses in the 1907 version.
"Katy Dear" uses the same melody but different lyrics, telling a similar story from a different perspective.
It featured in BBC TV series Inspector George Gently Series 5, Ep.2.

Lyric:

Don't sing love songs
You'll wake my mother
She's sleeping here
Right by my side
In her right hand
A silver dagger
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 the very next evening
They'll court another
Leaving you here
To pine and sigh

My daddy is
A handsome devil
He wears a chain
That's five miles long
And from every link
A heart does dangle
Of another maid
He's loved and wronged

Go court another
Tender maiden
In hopes that she
Will be your wife
For I've been wronged
And I've decided
To live alone
All of my life
