BLUES RUN THE GAME - Jackson C. Frank
An old very pleasant picking tune not that easy to play. I learnt it a long time ago but all references to that song seem to have disappeared. My fingers having a good memory, I tabbed the song from them (not that easy either !).
Catch a boat to England Baby .. (The lyrics are at the end of the tab)
You can hear a MP3 demo (350 kb) recorded by myself (instrument only!) on my site whose URL is here above.

Catch a boat to England Baby Maybe to Spain Wherever I have gone Wherever I`ve been and gone Wherever I have gone Blues run the game
Send out for whisky Baby Send out for gin Me I`m a room service Me I`m a room service Me I`m a room service Living a life of sin
When I`m not drinking baby You`re on my mind When I`m not sleeping baby When I`m not sleeping girl When I`m not sleeping baby You know you`ll find me around
Living like a gambler babe Loving much the same Wherever I have gone Whenever I`ve thrown those dice Wherever I`m playing Blues run the game
Try another city Baby Try another town Wherever I have gone Wherever I`ve been and gone Wherever I have gone Blues follow me down
