The Old Black Rum (Live)
To George Street, shall we?
And the old black (Rum's got a hold on me)
(Like a dog wrapped 'round my leg) Hey
(And the old black rum's got a hold on me)
(Will I live for another day?)
Hey, will I live (For another day?)
I drank sixteen doubles for the price of one
Trying to find the courage to talk to the 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 (Hup)
Kneeling at the alter of my nightly post
So I'll raise a glass (Hup), not the first nor last
Come join me in this toast (Come o-)
Because the old black rum's got a hold on me
Like a dog wrapped 'round my leg (Hey)
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 is just walkin' 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 (Hup)
I think a bloody racket might soon begin
I must have said something, to the George Street queen
And the boys are joining in
Because the old black rum's got a hold on me
Like a dog wrapped 'round my leg (Hup)
And the old black rum's got a hold on me
Will I live for another day?
Hey, will I live for another day? (Take more, take more)
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 ano-lovely (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 (Hup), 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 (Rah-hup)
And the old black rum's got a hold on me
Will I live for another day?
Hey, will I live for another day? (Go again boys, go again) (Hey)
Because the old black rum's got a hold on me
Like a dog wrapped 'round my leg (Hup)
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?
Hey, I drank sixteen doubles for the price of one
And the old black (Rum's got a hold on me)
(Like a dog wrapped 'round my leg) Hey
(And the old black rum's got a hold on me)
(Will I live for another day?)
Hey, will I live (For another day?)
I drank sixteen doubles for the price of one
Trying to find the courage to talk to the one

Hey, will I live for another day?
Hey, I drank sixteen doubles for the price of one
