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 drinking, baby You are on my mind When I’m not sleeping, honey When I ain’t sleeping, mama When I’m not sleeping 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 Whenever 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
