Sporting Life

歌詞

Well, I'm tired of runnin' around Well, I wanna marry and, and settle down This ole sportin' life It is a mean life and it's killin' me I got a letter, got a letter from my home All of my friends are, they are dead and gone It'll make you worry It'll make you wonder about days to come My mother she used to talk to me Young and foolish and I could not see I have no mother My sisters and brothers won't talk to me She used to fall on her knees and pray These are the words, mother, she used to say She would say, Brownie Oh, Brownie, please change your ways Now, I'm goin' to change my ways I'm gettin' older each and every day When I was young and foolish I was easy, easy let astray I've been gambler and a cheater too But now its come my time to lose This ole sportin' life Has got the best hand, what can I do? There ain't but one thing that I think that I done wrong I liv'd that sportin' life, my friend, most too long I said, it's no good Please believe me, please leave it alone
