Blues run the game

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 whisky baby
send out for gin
me and room service honey
me and room service
me and room service oh we’re
living a life of sin

when I’m not drinking baby
you’re on my mind
when I’m not drinking honey
when I’m not sleeping
when I’m not drinking well you know
you’ll find me cryin’

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
