I've lived upon the edge of chance
For twenty years or more
And this is what my friends all mean

By Del Rio's Song ''(Oh, Del Rio)''
Del Rio's Song ''(Oh, Del Rio)''
Del Rio's Song ''(Oh, Del Rio)''
Del Rio's Song ''(Oh, Del Rio)''

When time gets slow, and rivers freeze
I think you'd know enough

To call in touch that outer frame
The inner gain, a sullen gulch
Which opens up on the way to Blindman's Bluff
A suburb now of river roads
Where quandary and sublime improve
The sight whose imagery is sometimes that of fear

I've lived upon the edge of chance
For twenty years or more
And this is what my friends all mean

By Del Rio's Song ''(Oh, Del Rio)''
Del Rio's Song ''(Oh, Del Rio)''
Oh, Del Rio's Song ''(Oh, Del Rio)''
Del Rio's Song ''(Oh, Del Rio)''

When time gets slow, and rivers freeze
I think you'd know enough

To shut the gates of walled town walls
And putting up some good rum punch
Forget the way to Blindman's Bluff
So, packed with eyes that glow like coals
And pointing towards the North
Oh, my boat left New Orleans in 1829

''Hey!''
''Hey!''
''Hey!''
''Hey!''

''My destination is a secret''
''And the doctrine is soft''
''And just between the verse and me''
''It's a place where you can see''
''Lost, last, and luminous''
''Scored to sky, yet never found''
''Relics of jewels and ant-track tools''
''A true ghost dance rehearsal ground''

''Oh-oh!'' ''(Oh!)''
''Oh-oh!'' ''(Oh!)''
''Oh-oh-oh!'' ''(Oh-oh!)''
''Oh-oh!'' ''(Oh!)''
''Oh-oh!'' ''(Oh!)''
''Oh-oh-oh!'' ''(Oh-oh!)''

''Yeah!''

I've lived upon the edge of chance
For twenty years or more
And this is what my friends all mean

I've lived upon the edge of chance
For twenty years or more
And this is what my friends all mean
