Dublin Blues

I wish I was in Austin In a chilly parlor bar Drinkin' Mad Dog Margaritas And not carin' where you are But here I sit in Dublin Just rollin' cigarettes Holdin' back and chokin' back The shakes with every breath 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 git go 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 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 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 git go 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 I have been to Spain I have been to proud To come in out of the rain I have seen the David I've seen the Mona Lisa too 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 git go I'll love you till I die I loved you on the Spanish steps The day you said goodbye I wish I was in Austin In a chilly parlour bar Drinkin' Mad Dog Margaritas And not carin' where you are
