Rupert Holmes - Rifles and Rum lyrics

[Rupert Holmes - Rifles and Rum lyrics]

Livin' ain’t for free
We been runnin' rum down to Bimini
Jim and me from the ship to shore
(From the ship to shore)
Eighty kegs of magic to start a war
Maybe more

We been livin' high on rifles and rum
We don’t give a damn where the money come
We don't give a damn 'cause we'll all be hung
When they catch us runnin' rifles and rum
Hum, hum we supply the guns
When a politician for office runs
With his sons
We supply the men (We supply the men)
Who supply a quick revolution, then
Sail again

We been livin' high on rifles and rum
We don't give a damn where the money come
We don't give a damn ’cause we’ll all be hung
When they catch us runnin' rifles and rum
Hum, hum

We been livin’ high on rifles and rum
We don't give a damn where the money come
We don't give a damn 'cause we’ll all be hung
When they catch us runnin' rifles and rum
Hum, hum

Here we come, rifles and rum
Here we come, rifles and rum
Here we come, rifles and rum
Here we come, rifles and rum

Got you some rifles and rum
Got you some rifles and rum
Got you some rifles and rum
Got you some rifles and rum

Here we come, rifles and rum
Here we come, rifles and rum
Here we come, rifles and rum
Here we come, rifles and rum
