Generate meaning
1
I drank 16 doubles for the price of one
2
Tryin to find the courage to talk to one
3
I asked her for a dance, not a second glance
4
My night had just begun
5
Well I'd drink to the father or the holy ghost
6
Kneeling at the alter of my nightly post
7
And I'll raise a glass, not the first or last
8
Come join me in this toast
9
Chorus:
10
'Cause the old black rum's got a hold on me
11
Like a dog wrapped 'round my leg
12
And the old black rum's got a hold on me
13
Will I live for another day
14
The queen of George Street just went walkin' on by
15
Walkin' on by with some guy who don't care
16
That she stood in line since half past nine
17
And spent three hours on her hair
18
Her friend is lookin' at me with an evil grin
19
I think a bloody racket might soon begin
20
I must have said something to the George Street queen
21
Now the boys are joining in.
22
Chorus
23
So I drank all of my money and I slept out in the rain
24
Every day is different, but the nights are all the same
25
You never see the sun on the old black rum
26
And I know I'm gonna do it again.
27
Chorus x2
28
