I drank sixteen doubles for the price of one
Trying 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
Im kneeling at the alter of my nightly post
So Ill raise a glass, not the first nor last
Come join me in this toast
Because the old black rums got a hold on me
Like a dog wrapped round my leg
And the old black rums 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 walking on by
Walking on by with some guy who dont care
That she stood in line
Since half past nine
And spent three hours on her hair 
Well her friend is looking 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 joining in!
So I drank all of my money
And I slept out in the rain
Everyday is different but the nights theyre all the same
You never see the sun on the old black rum
But I know Im gonna do it again!
