Songs with weapons in the lyrics; Jimi Hendrix’ Machine Gun came to my mind https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLI8...&start_radio=1 but that is not a cold weapon, so lets stick to the latter like these examples: Oaks Family Wake Up, You Drowsy Sleeper (1930) “I then take out my silver dagger” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FX7MfJM19JU Lizzy’s Whiskey in the Jar ” and then produced my rapier “ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WDS...&start_radio=1 Mack The Knife of the Dreigroschenoper / three penny opera “a jackknife has old MacHeath / Und Macheath, der hat ein Messer” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMWc...&start_radio=1 Dire Straits - Six Blade Knife “Everybody got a knife” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zzaa...&start_radio=1 Sheath and Knife - a traditional folk song, “I lost the sheath that the knife was in." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1B7Kz6rESAA The Kingston Trio Tom Dooley “Stabbed her with my knife” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3zdE8bliGI Tenpole Tudor - Swords Of A Thousand Men https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Ayw...&start_radio=1 A Song of Swords (G.K.
