Bert Jansch - Blues Run The Game Lyrics
Catch a boat to England, baby,Maybe to Spain,Wherever I have gone,Wherever I've been and gone,Wherever I have goneThe blues have run the game.Send out for whisky, baby,Send out for gin,Me and room service, honey,Me and room service, babe,Me and room serviceWell, we're living a life of sinWhen I ain't drinking, baby,You are on my mind,When I ain't sleeping, honey,When I ain't sleeping, Mama,When I ain't sleepingWell 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 goneThe blues have 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 playedThe blues have run the game.Maybe when I'm older, baby,Someplace down the line,I'll wake up older,So much older, Mama,Wake up olderAnd 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 goneThe blues, they're all the same
