Subject: Lyr Add: THE BLUES RUNS THE GAME (Jackson C Frank)
But then again it could be this one....

THE BLUES RUNS THE GAME

Take a boat to England baby, maybe to Spain
Where ever I have been, Where ever I've been and gone
Where ever I have gone the blues, they run the game

Send out for whiskey baby, send out for gin
Me and room service honey, me and room service child
Me and room service well we're living a life of sin

When I ain't sleeping baby, you're on my mind
When I ain't drinking honey, when I ain't drinking child
When I ain't drinking well you're sure to find me crying

Try another city baby, try another town
Where ever I have played, Where ever I've rolled them dice
Where ever I have played the blues come tumbling' down

Ah living is a gamble honey, loving's much the same
Where ever I have been, where ever I've been and gone
Where ever I have gone, the blues remain the same

Maybe tomorrow baby, somewhere down the line
I'll wake up older baby, I'll wake up old and dying
I'll wake up older and I'll just quit all my trying

So take a boat to England baby, maybe to Spain
Where ever I have been, Where ever I've been and gone
Where ever I have gone the blues, they run the game

Cheers
