BOTTLE OF RUM Lyrics

Just sittin' in the shade with my bottle of rum

Sometimes sittin' is the best kind of fun

My belly warm from the slow easy burn

And my mood follows suit, mellowin' in turn

My boat's got a hold but I think it can wait

My nets need mendin' but still work okay

My wife wants a new dress but money's tight

I'll tell her she's beautiful and make it all right

Cause right now I ain't got a care in the world

I'm just sittin' and sippin' and watchin' the eddies swirl

Tomorrow I'll fix the boat and fix up my nets

Catch some fish for the market and buy a new dress

But today's for shade and my bottle of rum

For the cool sea breeze as I sit on my bum

For warmin' my belly with that comforting burn

And settin' troubles aside until tomorrow they return

But today's for shade and my bottle of rum

For the cool sea breeze as I sit on my bum

For warmin' my belly with that comforting burn

And settin' troubles aside until tomorrow they return

My boat's got a hold but I think it can wait

My nets need mendin' but still work okay

My wife wants a new dress but money's tight

I'll tell her she's beautiful and make it all right

But today's for shade and my bottle of rum

For the cool sea breeze as I sit on my bum

Buy a new dress

But today's for shade and my bottle of rum

For the cool sea breeze as I sit on my bum

For warmin' my belly with that comforting burn

And settin' troubles aside until tomorrow they return
