[ Предположительная тональность: G ] G D G I drank sixteen doubles for the price of one C G D Trying to find the courage to talk to one C D G C D G I asked her for a dance, Not a second glance C D My night had just begun. G D G When I drink to the Father or the Holy Ghost, C G D I'm kneeling at the altar of my nightly post. C D G C D G So I'll raise the glass. Not the first or last. G D G Come join me in this toast. (Chorus) D G Because the old black rum's got a hold of me. C D Like a dog wrapped round my leg. G And the old black rum's got a hold of me. D G C Well I live for another day, Hey. G D G Well I'll live for another day. G D G Well the queen of George Street just came walking on by. C G D Walking on by with some guy who don't care. C D G C D G That she stood in line. Since half past nine. G C D And spent three hours on her hair (on her hair). G D G Her friend is looking at me with an evil grin. C G D I think a bloody racket might soon begin. C D G C D G I must have said something. To the George Street queen. G D G The boys are joining in. (Chorus) G D G So I drank all of my money and I slept out in the rain. C G D Every day is different but the nights are all the same. C D G C D G You never see the sun. On the old black rum. G D G But you know I'm gonna do it again. (Chorus X 2)
