Guy Clark Dublin Blues Lyrics

Dublin Blues Lyrics

I wish I was in Austin 

In the Chili Parlour 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  



Chorus 



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  



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 



Chorus 



Repeat 1st half of verse 1
