Dublin Blues lyrics

I wished I was in Austin in the Chili Parlor Bar

Drinking Mad Dog Margaritas and not caring where you are

But here I sit in Dublin just rolling cigarettes

Holding back and choking back the shakes with every breath

[Chorus]

So forgive me all my anger, forgive me all my faults

There's no need to forgive me for thinking 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

Now I am just a poor boy, work's my middle name

If money was a reason, well, 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

[Chorus]

Forgive me all my anger, forgive me all my faults

There's no need to forgive me for thinking 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 and I have been to Spain

I have been too 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"

[Chorus]

Forgive me all my anger, forgive me all my faults

There's no need to forgive me for thinking 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, hmm, in the Chili Parlor Bar

Drinking Mad Dog Margaritas and not caring where you are
