VERSE 1- 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 VERSE 2- Well I'd drink to the father or the holy ghost Kneeling at the alter of my nightly post And I'll raise a glass, not the first or last come join me in this toast 'Cause the Ol' black rum's got a hold on me Like a dog wrapped 'round my leg And the Ol' black rum's got a hold on me Will I live for another day..hey? Will I live for another day? VERSE 3- The queen of George Street just went walkin' on by Walkin' on by with some guy who don't care That she stood in line since half past nine And spent three hours 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 Now the boys are joining in. CHORUS- VERSE 4 - So I drank all of my money and I slept out in the rain Every day is different, but the nights are all the same You never see the sun on the old black rum And I know I'm gonna do it again. CHORUS X 2 -
