about
This is a song I performed 10 years ago in the BBC drama Inspector George Gently. Since then, this song reached number 1 in the world music charts and is responsible for many people discovering my music today so I am really grateful to it.
I decided it needed an updated version so this is a remake, using the original lyrics made famous by Joan Baez's version.
It features the incredible Marion Fleetwood on strings.

lyrics
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
"All men are false", says my mother
"They'll tell you wicked, lovin' lies
The very next evening they'll court another
Leave you alone to pine and sigh"
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
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
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
"All men are false", says my mother
"They'll tell you wicked, lovin' lies
The very next evening they'll court another
Leave you alone to pine and sigh"
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
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

What a discovery! Seems someone has fallen in love with music... and taken its time for ripeness... Clever arrangements with an instinct when synthie runs & retro toms hit the panorama road.
