Blues Run the Game Lyrics

Written by Jackson C.Frank



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.
