Sporting Life Blues Lyrics & Chords By Lindisfarne

Carey

I got a letter from my home
Saying most of my good friends, they're dead and gone
That old night life, that mean old sporting life
You know it's killing me.

And my mother, she used to say to me
You're so young and foolish, that I can see
Ain't got no mother, my sister and brother
They won't talk to me.

I'm getting tired of running around
I think I'll get married and I'll settle down
Because that old night life, that mean old sporting life
You know it's killing me.

My mother, she used to say to me
So young and foolish, that I can see
Hey sonny, mm my lovin' sonny
Why don't you change your ways ?

I've been a gambler and a cheated too
But now my time, my time is due
'Cause that old night life, that mean old sporting life
You know it's killing me
Oh it's a bad life, that mean old sporting life
And it's killing me.
