I can't remember the words to this song. I believe it's a rather recent immigration song. "Forgive me all my anger/forgive me all my thoughts/no need to forgive me/for thinkin' what I've thought/loved you from the get-go/love you til I die.... Anybody know the rest and/or who wrote/performs this? I heard it live and so am unfamiliar. Thanks!!!

Dublin Blues
Guy Clark: 1995 EMI April Music Inc.

I wish I was in Austin
In the Chili Parlor 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 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.

(REPREAT CHORUS)

(REPEAT FIRST PART OF VERSE 1)
