[03:40.00]From Bimini to the
[03:40.00]Jersey Shore they ran their sacred mission
[03:40.00]To help the poor unfortunates, oppressed by the
[03:40.00]Prohibition
[03:40.00]When the Puritans in politics began to play their dirty tricks
[03:40.00]And outlaw every thing that we enjoy
[03:40.00]Rum boats ahoy
[03:40.00]We’re gonna get ourselves a drop of the
[03:40.00]Real McCoy
[03:40.00]Chorus:Rum runner, rum runner
[03:40.00]Run your rum right up the line
[03:40.00]Rum runner, rum runner
[03:40.00]Rum, whiskey, gin and rye
[03:40.00]Run rum runners run
[03:40.00]We’re running dry
[03:40.00]We’re running dry
[03:40.00]Three miles off the shoreline waits the infamous ‘
[03:40.00]Rum Row’Well if it’s gambling, or girls, or drink you want just ask ‘
[03:40.00]Havana Joe’
[03:40.00]You won’t be taxed so never mind, and once you’ve left the law behind
[03:40.00]You can have it all, whatever is your vice
[03:40.00]Just name your price
[03:40.00]It’s a free and easy floating paradise(Chorus)
[03:40.00]Well the boats come up from
[03:40.00]Charleston, and down from
[03:40.00]Gloucester
[03:40.00]BayThey’re giving out free samples boys, and the party’s underway
[03:40.00]Somebody brought a
[03:40.00]Calypso band, it’s loud enough to hear on land
[03:40.00]And the hold is filled with barrels fit to burst
[03:40.00]To quench our thirst
[03:40.00]If the excise cutters don’t get to it first(Chorus)
[03:40.00]The shore patrol is on the way, our machine gun's at the ready
[03:40.00]God help us if we need it now, our hands are none too steady
[03:40.00]Uncle Sam is closing in, to take our women, take our gin
[03:40.00]You’ve bled us dry with all your revenues
[03:40.00]What’s left to lose?
[03:40.00]You can take our lives but you’ll never take our booze
