The Old Black Rum
Great Big Sea

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

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

Chorus:

'Cause 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

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

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 x2

Alan Solo: I drank 16 doubles for the price of one
