Blues on the River

White clear rum and blues on the river and run
Loveless in the darkness, flooding through the rain and run
Signaling with my red cigarette
Won't somebody please connect?
It's long gone dark, no moon yet
Blood strong rum take your blues to the river and run
Listen to the long haul volunteers
Singing to the tune of fifteen years
The desperado racketeers
They never fade too far to steer
And there's a team in the sewer of a jail
Digging a hole with a two inch nail
And while the rat goes to sell his tale
They won't believe that the bid can fail
Oh, white clear rum and blues on the river and run
Loveless in the darkness, flooding through the rain and run
Signaling with my red cigarette
Won't somebody please connect?
It's long gone dark, no moon yet
Blood strong rum take your blues to the river and run
Everybody knows somebody on the run
And we've all considered a gun
And from floor number forty-one
Don't the drop look like it could be fun?
No matter how deep the river is
Find somebody who you swim with
There's always bound to be a bridge
And the world looks different from the ridge
Oh, white clear rum and blues on the river and run
Loveless in the darkness flooding through the rain and run
Signaling with my red cigarette
Won't somebody please connect?
It's long gone dark, no moon yet
Blood strong rum take your blues to the river and run
White clear rum, blues on the river and run
Loveless in the darkness, flooding through the rain and run
Signaling with my red cigarette
Won't somebody please connect?
It's long gone dark, and no moon yet
Blood strong rum take your blues to the river and run
Blood strong rum take your blues to the river and run
