Sporting Life Blues |
| I’m tired of runnin' around, |
| Think I will marry and settle down |
| This ole sportin' life, |
| It is a mean life, and it’s killin' me I got a letter from my home, |
| All of my schoolmates, they’re dead an’gone |
| It’ll make you worry, |
| It’ll make you wonder 'bout days to come |
| My mother used to talk to me, |
| I was young and foolish, Brownie could not see |
| Now, I have no mother, my sisters |
| And my brothers, they don’t care for me Mama used to fall on her knees an' pray, |
| These are the words, mother, she used to say |
| She would say: «Brownie, wha-oh, |
| My son, please change your way» |
| Now, I’m goin' to change my way, |
| I’m growin' older each and every day |
| When I was young and foolish, |
| I was so easy, easy to let … |
| I was a gambler and a cheater, too, now, |
| It’s come my turn to lose |
| This ole sportin' life, |
| Got the best hand, what can I do? |
| There ain’t but one thing Brownie done wrong, |
| I liv’d that ole sportin' life too long |
| Friends, it’s no good, please believe me, |
| Please leave it alone |
