sporting life blues
Select language to translate this lyric
I'm gettin' tired of hangin' around
Think I will marry and settle down
'Cause this ol' night life
This ol' sporting life, it's killin' me
I got a letter from my home
Most of my friends are dead an' gone
I began to worry, I began 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 gettin' older every day
When I was young and foolish
It was so easy to run and play
I'm gettin' tired of hangin' around
Think I will marry and settle down
'Cause this ol' night life
This ol' sporting life, it's killin' me
This ol' night life
This ol' sporting life, it's killin' me
