Sporting Life Blues

I'm gettin' tired of hangin' around Think I will marry and settle down 'Cause this old night life This old sportin' life is killing me I got a letter from my home Most of my friends are dead and gone I began to worry I began to wonder about 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 my 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 out and play I'm gettin' tired of hangin' round Think I will marry and settle down 'Cause this old night life This old sportin' life is killin' me This old night life This old sportin' life is killin' me
