Karaoké The Old Black Rum Great Big Sea

I drank sixteen 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 drink to the father and the holy ghost

I'm kneelin' at the alter of my nightly post

So I'll raise a glass

Not the first nor last

Come join me in this toast

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

Hey 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 care

That she stood in line since half past nine and spent three hours on her hair

Well her friend is lookin' at me with an evil grin

I think the bloody racket might soon begin

I must have said some thing to the George street queen

The boys are joinin' in

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

Hey will I live for another day

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

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

Hey will I live for another day

Ah 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

Hey will I live for another day

Hey will I live for another day
