Blues Run The game |
LyricsBlues Run the GameJackson C. Frank Copyright 1965 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 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'm not drinking baby You are on my mind When I'm not sleeping honey When I ain't sleeping babe When I ain't sleeping Well you know - you'll find me crying Try another city baby Another town Wherever I have gone, Wherever I've been and gone Wherever I have gone The blues - come following down Living is a gamble baby Loving's much the same Wherever I have played Wherever I throw them dice Wherever I have played The blues - have run the game Maybe tomorrow honey Someplace down the line I'll wake up older So much older mama I'll 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 |
