Текст песни That Would Be Something (Grateful Dead) с переводом

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

I’m kneeling at the alter of my nightly post

So I’ll raise a glass, not the first nor last

Come join me in this toast

(Chorus:)

Because the old black rum’s got a hold on me Like a dog wrapped round my leg

And the old black rum’s 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 don’t care

That she stood in line

Since half past nine

And spent three hours on her hair (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!

(Chorus:)

So I drank all of my money

And I slept out in the rain

Everyday is different but the nights they’re all the same

You never see the sun on the old black rum

But I know I’m gonna do it again!

(Chorus:) 2x
