lyrics

Sister won't you save me!
Save me from this hunger!
I took my stand,
To be the last good man,
In the dark streets of Dagger.

Since the day I was born,
I've had to endure,
These dark streets of Dagger.

Every scum of the earth,
Has found their worth,
In a town where nobody matters.

But at the bottom of a glass,
I saw it at last.
My people need a crusader!

And so I hatched my plan,
to be the last good man,
In the dark streets of Dagger.
In the dark streets of Dagger.

She was a lady of Coin.
She had grace. She had poise.
She had a body that you could just die fer.

And I admit I was impressed,
By her long white dress,
But in this town, that's asking for danger!

She said, "I'm all alone,
I'm a long ways from home,
Won't somebody be my saviour?

"I need the guiding hand,
of the last good man,
In the dark streets of dagger"
In the dark streets of Dagger.

"Dear Lady," says I,
"I know I'm the guy,
Who can keep you safe like no other"

And we spoke for a while,
Then she beamed me a smile,
And in a flash, I knew that I loved her!

We went out in the night,
And I held her tight,
And in that moment she got what she came fer.

For the last thing I sensed,
Was her breath on my neck,
In the dark streets of Dagger
In the dark streets of Dagger

In the dark...
In the dark streets of Dagger
In the dark streets of Dagger

Sister won't you save me!
Save me from this hunger!
I took my stand,
To be the last good man,
In the dark streets of Dagger.
