An Cat Dubh Decent Girl Lyrics

Decent Girl Lyrics

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:
