Lest I forget I'm a decent man Now she drinks and I smoke as we please to While the other men fall to their knees And a trifling part In the back of my heart Says if ever that coward is me Maybe if I begged some old saint for her patience And then sold it to pay for her time till I wake up one day And to all my dismay That old face in the coffin is mine Can I know all that I am? Lest I forget I'm a decent Oh, I'm a decent man She stood like a wolf in the doorway
