Anyone know the words to this song:

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. [or "run the game"]

I'm convinced I had it from the DT ages ago, but I can't find it now.

Steve, on the edge of my seat!

BLUES RUN THE GAME

(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 just the same

Send out for whisky baby
Send out for gin
Me and room service honey
Me and room service child
Me and room service
We're living a life of sin

When I'm not drinking baby
You're on my mind
When I'm not sleeping honey
When I'm not sleeping child
When I'm not sleeping
Then you know you'll find me crying

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

Try another city baby
Another town
Wherever I have been
Wherever I've been and gone
Wherever I have gone
The blues just follow on down

Maybe tomorrow baby
Some place down the line
I'll wake up older honey
So much older child
I'll wake up older
And you know I'll stop all my trying

Catch a boat to England baby
Maybe to Spain
Wherever I have been
Wherever I've been and gone
Wherever I have gone
The blues are just the same
