dublin blues

well

i wished i was in austin

mmm

in the chili parlor bar

drinkin' mad dog margaritas

and not carin' where you are

but here i sit in dublin

mmm

just rollin' cigarettes

holdin' back and chokin' back

the shakes with every breath

so forgive me all my anger

forgive me all my faults

there's no need to forgive me

for thinkin' what i thought

i loved you from the get go

and i'll love you till i die

i loved you on the spanish steps

the day you said goodbye

i am just a poor boy

mmm

work's my middle name

if money was a reason

well

i would not be the same

i'll stand up and be counted

mmm

i'll face up to the truth

i'll walk away from trouble

but i can't walk away from you

so forgive me all my anger

forgive me all my faults

there's no need to forgive me

for thinkin' what i thought

i loved you from the get go

and i'll love you till i die

i loved you on the spanish steps

the day you said goodbye

i have been to fort worth

mmm

and i have been to spain

and i have been too proud

to come in out of the rain

and i have seen the david

mmm

i've seen the mona lisa too

and i have heard doc watson

play columbus stockade blues

forgive me all my anger

forgive me all my faults

there's no need to forgive me

for thinkin' what i thought

i loved you from the get go

and i'll love you till i die

i loved you on the spanish steps

the day you said goodbye

well

i wished i was in austin

mmm

in the chili parlor bar

drinkin' mad dog margaritas

and not carin' where you are
