Old Black Rum Lyrics

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

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

Chorus
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(heyyyyy)will i live for another day

Well the queen of George Street just went walkin' on by
walkin' on by with some guy who don't careGreat Big Sea - Old Black Rum - http://motolyrics.com/great-big-sea/old-black-rum-lyrics.html
that she stood in line since half past nine
and spent three hours on her hair
(aahh)
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.

Chorus

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.

Chorus x2

will i live for another day
