The Silver Dagger

• D

Key of D  
No capo  
 
All other verses are the same 
 
(D) Oh Katie (G) dear go ask your (D) mother  
If you can be a (G) bride of (A) mine  
If she says (G) yes come back and (D) tell me  
If she says n(A)o we'll run away (D)  
 
Oh Willie dear there's no use in asking  
For she's in her room a taking rest  
And by her side lies a silver dagger  
To slay the one that I love best  
 
Oh Katie dear go ask your papa  
If you could be a bride of mine  
If he says yes come back and tell me  
If he says no we'll run away  
 
Oh Willie dear there's no use in asking  
For he's in his room a taking rest  
And by his side lies a silver dagger  
To slay the one that I love best  
 
Then he picked up that silver dagger  
And he stove it through her troubled heart  
Saying goodbye Katie goodbye darlin  
I'll die for the one that I love best  
 
Then she picked up that bloody dagger  
And she stove it through her lily white breast  
Saying goodbye mama goodbye papa  
I'll die for the one that I love best
