Subject: Lyr Add: DUBLIN BLUES (Guy Clark) From: Roger in Baltimore Date: 20 Feb 02 - 08:01 AM Steve, I found a web site of Guy Clark lyrics. Here's the URL, followed by the lyrics as shown there. http://www.andrew.barron.net/guy_clark/discography/lyrics.html Dublin Blues
I wish I was in Austin
But here I sit in Dublin

I am just a poor boy
I'll stand up and be counted
I have been to Fort Worth
I have seen the David Chorus Repeat 1st half of verse 1 Enjoy! Roger in Baltimore |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Dublin Blues, Guy Clark From: JudyR Date: 20 Feb 02 - 02:48 AM Geez, how'd the lyrics come out all on one line, when I indented it, too? It'll probably come out that way here, too!! Well, anyway, the first verse is: 1/I wish I was in Austin/ in the Chili Parlor Bar/ Drinkin' Maddog Margueritas/ And not caring where you are. 2) But here I sit in Dublin/ Just rollin cigarettes/ Holdin' back and chokin' back/ The shakes with every breath. Chorus 3) I am just a poor boy/ work's my middle name/ If money was a reason/ Well, I would not be the same. And so on.
