The Old Black Rum 



        F                       C        F

I drank sixteen doubles for the price of one

Bb                  F           G	C

Trying to find the courage to talk to one

            Bb  C   F          Bb C      F

I asked her for a dance, not a second glance

                  C

My night had just begun



	F			    C    F

Well I drink to the Father or the Holy Ghost

Bb		      F	          G	 C

I'm kneeling at the altar of my nightly post

           Bb   C   F  	           Bb  C   F

So I'll raise the glass, not the first or last

	      C	       F

Come join me in this toast





Chorus

            C                     F

Because the old black rum's got a hold of me

       F             Bb      C

Like a dog wrapped round my leg

         C                     F

And the old black rum's got a hold of me

          F          C     F   Bb

Well I'm here for another day, Hey

          F          C     F

Well I'm here for another day





Well the queen of George Street just a walking on by.

Walking 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....on her hair

Well her friend is looking at me with an evil grin

I think the bloody racket might soon begin

I must have said something to the George Street queen

and boys I'm joining in



Chorus



So I drank all of my money and I slept out in the rain

Every day is different but the night are all the same

You never see the sun on the old black rum

But you know I'm gonna do it again
