Dublin Blues Lyrics
Well, I wished I was in Austin, mmm
In a chilly parlor bar
Drinkin' Mad Dog Margaritas
And not carin' where you are
Here I sit in Dublin
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 'til I die
I loved you on the Spanish steps
The day you said goodbye
Now I am just a poor boy
Work's my middle name
If money was a reason
I would not be the same
I'll stand up and be counted
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 'til 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
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've thought
I loved you from the get go
And I'll love you 'til I die
I loved you on the Spanish steps
The day you said goodbye
Well, I wished I was in Austin, mmm
In a chilly parlour bar
Drinkin' Mad Dog Margaritas
And not carin' where you are
