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
