Matt Zimmerman - Bobby's Ballad Lyrics

I flew in from Toronto one Friday afternoon
Drove down to the pub to play a show
Stopped to have a pint gettin' ready to play all night
We were all on the rum before you know

And I'll take seven dark rums of the sin before you close
I'll take seven dark rums for the road
And I'll take seven more drinks for the lads at the bar
Who stuck around for the whole damn show

The fiddle kept the dance floor packed the drum was poundin' too
Playin' songs that everybody knew
Singin' 'bout the coast the place everyone loves the most
Taps were flowin' as Paddy Murphy filled the room

And I'll take seven dark rums of the sin before you close
I'll take seven dark rums for the road
And I'll take seven more drinks for the lads at the bar
Who stuck around for the whole damn show

The show flew by and as we said goodbye
The waitress came around for last call
I said I'll have three and she replied to me
You only have half an hour before we close

So I'll take seven dark rums of the sin before you close
I'll take seven dark rums for the road
And I'll take seven more drinks for the lads at the bar
Who stuck around for the whole damn show
And I'll take seven dark rums of the sin before you close
I'll take seven dark rums for the road
And I'll take seven more drinks for the lads at the bar
Who stuck around for the whole damn show
They stuck around for the whole damn show
They stuck around for the whole damn show
