Rum Rebellion - Drifting Down The River

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

CHORUS x3
