Rum Rebellion - Drifting Down The River

...

It was six in the morning

on the 23rd of June

At the breaking of the dawn

and the setting of the moon

We charted course

and set our heels toward the unknown

A rowdy band of rebels

off a-rovin' far from home

One lad started puking

five hours before noon

The rest of us knew

that we'd be joining him soon

And as the journey ventured

on the sunlight filled the sky

Til' we reached that rocky shore

and kissed our sanity goodbye

CHORUS:

So here's to adventure

and the good times we had together

Here's to the danger and the freedom of it all

Here's to days

that we spent livin' like there's no tomorrow

Here's to the next time

I go drifting down the river once again

The waters were a-raging

as we shoved off from the shore

Through rocky gorge and forest thick

we kept pushing for more

Soon daylight turned to shadow

and the bats took to flight

And we kept floatin' down

that river under cover of night

The liquor started flowing,

running, coursing through my veins

It put the warmth back in my heart

and fever in my brain

So raise yer glass and take a shot,

then come on back for more

Mixin' Jameson's and Guinness

'til that car bomb, it explodes

CHORUS

BRIDGE:

So here's to the bonfires

that set me eyes and heart a-blazin'

Here's to the whiskey and the porter and the rum

Here's to the pipe

that keeps on passing round the circle

And carries me to slumber

where I'm drifting down that river in my dreams
