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:

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.
