White clear rum and blues on the river and run Loveless in the darkness, flooding to the rain and run Signaling with my red cigarette Won't somebody please connect? It's long gone dark and no moon yet Well, blood strong rum, take your blues to the river and run Listen to the long haul volunteers Singing to the tune of shifting gears Those 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 a 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 to the rain and run Signaling with my red cigarette Won't somebody please connect? It's long gone dark and no moon yet Oh, 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 and no moon yet Well, blood strong rum, take your blues to the river and run White clear rum and blues on the river and run Loveless in the darkness, flooding to the rain and run Signaling with my red cigarette Won't somebody please connect? It's long gone dark and no moon yet Well, blood strong rum, take your blues to the river and run
