Blues Run The Game - Bert Jansch

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 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 service

Well, we’re living a life of sin

When 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 sleeping

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 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 played

The 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 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, they’re all the same
