Blues Run the Game

[Verse 1]

Catch a boat to England, baby

Maybe to Spain

Wherever I have gone

Wherever I've been and gone

Wherever I have gone

The blues are all the same

[Verse 2]

Send out for whisky, baby

Send out for gin

Me and room service, honey

Me and room service, babe

Me and room service

Well, we're living a life of sin

[Verse 3]

When I'm not drinking, baby

You are on my mind

When I'm not sleeping, honey

When I ain't sleeping, mama

When I'm not sleeping

You know you'll find me crying

[Verse 4]

Try another city, baby

Another town

Wherever I have gone

Wherever I've been and gone

Wherever I have gone

The blues come following down

[Verse 5]

Living is a gamble, baby

Loving's much the same

Wherever I have played

Whenever I've thrown them dice

Wherever I have played

The blues have run the game

[Verse 6]

Maybe tomorrow, honey

Someplace down the line

I'll wake up older

So much older, mama

I'll wake up older

And I'll just stop all my tryin'

[Verse 1/Outro]

Catch a boat to England, baby

Maybe to Spain

Wherever I have gone

Wherever I've been and gone

Wherever I have gone

The blues are all the same
