Sporting Life Blues

[Chorus] I'm getting tired Of hanging around Think I will marry And settle down Because this old night life This old sport life Is killing me [Verse] I've got a letter from my home Most of my friends are dead and gone I begin to worry, I begin to wonder About days to come My mother used to talk to me I was young and foolish and couldn't see Now I've got no mother My sisters and brothers don't care for me I swear I'm going to change my ways I'm getting older everyday When I was young and foolish It was so easy to run and play [Chorus] [Outro] This old night life This old sport life Is killing me
