Sporting Life Blues

（Intro...）

I'm getting tired of hangin' around,
Think I would marry and settle down
This ole night life, This ole Sportin' 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, bad days to come

My mother used to talk to me,
I was young and foolish, could not see
Now, I have no mom, My sisters and brothers, they don't care for me

（Guitar solo...）

I swear I'm gonna change my way,
I'm getting older every day
When I was young and foolish, It was so easy, to run and play

I'm getting tired of hanging around,
Think I will marry, and settle down
This ole night life, This ole Sportin' Life, its killing me

This ole night life, This ole Sportin' Life, its killing me
