Lyrics for 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 have run the game. 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 When I ain't drinking, baby, You are on my mind, When I ain't sleeping, honey, When I ain't sleeping, Mama, When I ain't sleeping 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 have run the game. Living is a gamble, baby, Loving's much the same, Wherever I have played, Wherever I throw those dice, Wherever I have played The blues have run the game. Maybe when I'm older, baby, Someplace down the line, I'll wake up older, So much older, Mama, Wake up older And I'll just stop all my trying. 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, they're all the same
