The Old Black Rum - The Maguire Brothers

I don't know what time it is there But down here it's way past 5 o'clock Blew through a couple hurricanes and heard your name And it tied me up in knots Yeah, I know a lot of time has passed There's a lot of sand through the hourglass I know I shouldn't have called you drunk I guess it's easier said with rum Floating on top of a Pina Colada Sitting here, missing you, thinking a lot about How I messed up, I should've fessed up Guess it's easier said with one Or two, to take off the edge Feelin' the buzz and regret I'm sorry "I'm sorry" took so long to roll off my tongue Guess it's easier said with rum You ain't gotta say a thing If I'm a day late or a dollar short And you can tell this ain't my first drink But it is my last resort Try to put yourself in my flip-flops Thinkin' about you nonstop while the sun drops I want you more than I've ever wanted anyone Guess it's easier said with rum Floating on top of a Pina Colada Sitting here, missing you, thinkin' a lot about How I messed up, I should've fessed up Guess it's easier said with one Or two, to take off the edge Feelin' the buzz and regret I'm sorry "I'm sorry" took so long to roll off my tongue I guess it's easier said with rum Now that it's over And I ain't so sober All the things that I should've told ya Are easier said with rum Floating on top of a Pina Colada Sitting here, missing you, thinkin' a lot about How I messed up, I should've fessed up Guess it's easier said with one Or two, to take off the edge Feelin' the buzz and regret I'm sorry "I'm sorry" took so long to roll off my tongue Guess it's easier said with rum I guess it's easier said with rum

Can't be arsed to dress up no more I'm a boring bastard You run all the colour from my collar Down my legs to my steady feet I wanna paint old street black I'm gonna take it back Back to wearin' the leather, grey clouds and shitty weather Fuck colour, fuck all of summer Wanna fuck all your smiling faces Infesting places like unwanted races Can't be arsed to dress up no more I'm a boring bastard You run all the colour from my collar Down my legs to my steady feet I wanna paint you black This herd of sheep, a gathering of the weak I'll be the butcher and the decorator, dictator To those who oppose what rose from nowhere Can't be arsed to dress up no more I'm a boring bastard You run all the colour from my collar Down my legs to my steady feet Can't be arsed to dress up no more (anymore) You run all the colour from my collar Down my legs to my steady feet I wanna paint old street black I'm gonna paint you black Let's take it back

We've looted too much booze Now we're stuck on our boat We have so much rum It's struggling to float No taking to the sky No taking to the sea Too much rum on board Such a problem cannot be Our poor old ship be useless Stranded on the ground Filled with all the treasures From the good folks round in town Listen to me crew, "The day has finally come to lighten up the load Start drinking all the rum!"

I was born in the Dublin streets Where the loyal drums do beat And the loving English feet walked all over us Where each and every night When me dad would come home tight He'd call the neighbors out with this chorus "Come out you black and tans, come out and fight me like a man Show your wife how you won medals down in Flanders Show her how the IRA made you run like hell away From the green and lovely lanes of Killeshandra" Come tell us how you slew them old Arabs two by two Like the Zulus they had knives and bows and arrows How bravely you faced one with your 16-pounder gun And you frightened all the natives to the marrow "Come out you black and tans, come out and fight me like a man Show your wife how you won medals down in Flanders Show her how the IRA made you run like hell away From the green and lovely lanes of Killeshandra" Come let us hear you tell how you slew the great Parnell And showed him what was well and persecuted Where are the stares and jeers that you proudly let us hear When our heroes of '16 were executed? "Come out you black and tans, come out and fight me like a man Show your wife how you won medals down in Flanders Show her how the IRA made you run like hell away From the green and lovely lanes of Killeshandra" Come out you British huns, come out and fight without your guns Show your wife how you won medals up in Derry You murdered five young men and you'd do the same again So get out of here and take your bloody army "Come out you black and tans, come out and fight me like a man Show your wife how you won medals down in Flanders Show her how the IRA made you run like hell away From the green and lovely lanes of Killeshandra" "Come out you black and tans, fight me like a man Show your wife how you won medals down in Flanders Show her how the IRA made you run like hell away From the green and lovely lanes of Killeshandra From the green and lovely lanes of Killeshandra"
