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

Living life a sin



When I ain't drinking, baby

You are on my mind

When I ain't sleeping, honey

When I ain't sleeping, momma

When I ain't sleeping, whoa

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



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 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 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 are all the same
