Blues Run the Game

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 run the game

Send out for whiskey, baby,

Send out for gin

Me and room service, honey

Me and room service, babe

Me and room service, whoa

We're livin' a life of sin

When I ain't drinkin', baby

You are on my mind

When I ain't sleepin', honey

When I ain't sleepin', momma

When I ain't sleepin', well

You know you'll find me crying

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 run the game

Livin' is a gamble, baby

Lovin's much the same

Wherever I have played

Wherever I throw those dice

Wherever I have played

The blues run the game

Maybe when I'm older, baby

Someplace down the line

I'll wake up older

So much older, momma

Wake up older

And I'll just stop all my tryin'

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.
