מילים לשיר The Old Black Rum – Great Big Sea

I drank 16 doubles for the price of one
tryin to find the courage to talk to one
I asked her for a dance, not a second glance
my night had just begun kneeling at the alter of my nightly post
and I'll raise a glass, not the first or last
Well I'd drink to the father or the holy ghost
come join me in this toast 'Cause the old black rum's got a hold on me
will I live for another day
like a dog wrapped 'round my leg
and the old black rum's got a hold on me
The queen of George Street just went walkin' on by that she stood in line since half past nine
walkin' on by with some guy who don't care
and spent three hours on her hair Her friend is lookin' at me with an evil grin
now the boys are joining in.
I think a bloody racket might soon begin
I must have said something to the George Street queen So I drank all of my money and I slept out in the rain
and I know I'm gonna do it again.
Every day is different, but the nights are all the same
You never see the sun on the old black rum Chorus x2 I drank 16 doubles for the price of one.
