SOL RE SOL
I drank sixteen doubles for the price of one
DO RE
Trying to find the courage to talk to one
DO SOL DO SOL
I asked her for a dance, not a second glance
RE
My night had just begun
Well I drink to the Father or the Holy Ghost
I'm kneeling at the altar of my nightly post
So I'll raise the glass, not the first or last
Come join me in this toast
Chorus
RE SOL
Because the old black rum's got a hold of me
DO RE
Like a dog wrapped round my leg
RE SOL
And the old black rum's got a hold of me
DO RE MIm DO
Well I'm here for another day, Hey
DO RE SOL
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
chorus
