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
