SPORTING LIFE BLUES

I'm getting tired of hanging round Think I will marry and settle down 'Cause this old night life This old sporting life is killing me I got a letter from my home Most of my friends are dead and gone I begin to worry I begin to wonder 'bout days to come My mother used to talk to me I was young and foolish and could not see Now I got no mother My sisters and brothers don't care for me I swear I'm gonna change my ways I'm getting older every day When I was young and foolish It was so easy to run and play I'm getting tried (I'm getting tried) of hanging round (of hanging round) Think I will marry (Think I will marry) and settle down (and settle down) 'Cause this old night life This old sporting life is killing me This old night life This old sporting life is killing me
