Old Black Rum |
| I drank 16 doubles for the price of 1 |
| Tryin to find the courage to talk to the one |
| I asked her for a dance, not a second glance |
| My night had just begun |
| Well I’d drink to the father or the holy ghost |
| I’m kneeling at the alter of my nightly post |
| So I’ll raise a glass, not the first or last |
| Come join me in this toast |
| Because the old black rum’s got a hold on me |
| Like a dog wrapped 'round my leg |
| And the old black rum’s got a hold on me |
| Will I live for another day, hey, will I live for another day |
| Well the queen of George Street just went walkin' on by |
| Walkin' on by with som guy who don’t care |
| That she stood in line sinc half past nine |
| And spent three hours on her hair (on her hair!) |
| Her friend is lookin' at me with an evil grin |
| I think a bloody racket might soon begin |
| I must have said something to the George Street queen |
| Her boys are joining in |
| Because the old black rum’s got a hold on me |
| Like a dog wrapped 'round my leg |
| And the old black rum’s got a hold on me |
| Will I live for another day, hey, will I live for another day |
| So I drank all of my money and I slept out in the rain |
| Everyday is different, but the nights they’re all the same |
| You never see the sun on the old black rum |
| But I know I’m gonna do it again |
| Because the old black rum’s got a hold on me |
| Like a dog wrapped 'round my leg |
| And the old black rum’s got a hold on me |
| Will I live for another day, hey, will I live for another day |
| Because the old black rum’s got a hold on me |
| Like a dog wrapped 'round my leg |
| And the old black rum’s got a hold on me |
| Will I live for another day, hey, will I live for another day hey, |
| will I live for another day |
| Well I drank 16 doubles for the price of 1 |
