"Silver Dagger " von Pat Brown (Melodie: ?)

    a      G     a        G
My father is a travelling man,
    a         G      a
He never can settle down.
      a          G             a       G
For that is the price of the things he did,
        a        G     a
And so he must ride alone.
   C       G       C          G
A silver dagger hangs at his side
   C                         G
Proclaiming for all who can see,
      C                      G
That here is a man who has taken the road
           a              G          a
And will fight for the price of his fee.

Chorus:
       C        G           C              G
Some take the dagger for things they have done,
       C                    G
Some take the dagger for shame,
     C                G
But I will take the dagger for love,
         a           G            a           G
Of the road and the life and the man that I love,
         a          G              a
With no guilt, no regrets and no blame.
