Artist  : An Cat Dubh 
Song : Decent Girl
 
												
														   Refrain:

a e F C e 

I wish I weren4t such a decent girl, as decent
as starched white lace.

a e F C e

If I
were more like purple frills I4d spit you in the
face.

a e F C e 

I4d punch your nose
and pierce your eyes, and tear off both your
ears,

a e F G

and kick you in the
you-know-what 4til you break down in tears.



Strophe:

a C F G

My love is
such a sweet girl, she never is unkind,

a C
F G

Except when she is jealous, ah then she
speaks her mind.

a C F G 

When she4s
in a fury, when she4s in a rage,

a C F E


She clenches her fists tightly, and this
is what she says:



Refrain:

Strophe:

I met a beauteous lady and
followed like a sheep.

By day I dreamt
about her, by night I found no sleep.

When
my love learnt the story from a neighbour4s
cousin4s friend,

At first she wouldn4t see
me but told me in the end:



Refrain:

Strophe:

Except when she
is jealous and freely speaks her mind,

my
love is such a sweet girl that never is
unkind.

Nor does she ever do to me the
things she said she would,

So I4ll stay
with my decent girl, and stay with her for
good.



Refrain:
