Sportin' Life

I'm gettin' tired of runnin' 'round
 Believe I'll get married and I'll settle down
 Because this old night life
 This mean old sportin' life
 You know it's killin' me
 ♪
 And I got a letter from my home
 And most of my good friends
 They are dead and gone
 And it makes me worry
 No need to wonder
 About the times to come
 ♪
 And mother used to fall, on her knees and pray
 And these are the very words she did say
 She said "Oh, Johnny, my lovin' Johnny
 Oh, won't you please change your ways?"
 ♪
 I've been a gambler and a cheater, too
 But now it's come my, my time to lose
 Because this old night life
 You know, she's holdin' the best hand
 And what can I do?
 ♪
 And I'm gettin' tired of runnin' 'round
 Believe I'll get married and I'll settle down
 Because this old night life
 Oooo, it's a bad life
 And it's killin' me
