The Ballroom Thieves - Blues Run The Game Lyrics

The Ballroom Thieves Lyrics

"Blues Run The Game"
(originally by Jackson C. Frank)

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 whiskey 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 drinkin' baby you are on my mind
When I'm not sleepin' honey
When I ain't sleepin' mama
When I'm not sleepin', when 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 followin' down

Livin' is a gamble baby, lovin's much the same
Wherever I have played
Whenever I've thrown them dice
Wherever I have played the blues have run the game

Maybe tomorrow honey
Some place down the line, I'll wake up older
So much older
Wake up older and I'll 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
