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
