Lyrics:

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,
For we're livin' the 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', babe,
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've thrown 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, mama,
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 run the game.
