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
|
