blues run the game

Paul Simon

Written by Jackson C.Frank

Catch a boat to England baby
Maybe to Spain
Whereever I have gone
Whereever I've been and gone
Whereever 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 aint drinking baby
You are on my mind
When I aint sleeping honey
When I aint sleeping Mama
When I aint sleeping
Well you know you'll find me crying

Catch a boat to England baby
Maybe to Spain
Whereever I have gone
Whereever I've been and gone
Whereever I have gone
The blues have run the game

Living is a gamble baby
Loving's much the same
Whereever I have played
Whereever I've thrown those dice
Whereever I have played
The blues have run the game

Maybe when I'm older baby
Some place 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
Whereever I have gone
Whereever I've been and gone
Whereever I have gone
The blues, they're all the same
