Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee - Live at The New Penelope Café (Remastered)

Sportin' Life

Well, I'm tired of runnin' around
I will marry and settle down
This ole sportin' life
It is a mean life, people, and it's killin' me

I got a letter from my home
All of my friends are dead and gone
It'll make you worry
Make you wonder, people, about days to come

My mother she used to talk to me
I was young and foolish, and I could not see
I have no mother
My sisters and my brothers don'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
Woah, 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 lead astray

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 lead astray

There ain't but one thing that I've done wrong
I lived that ole sportin' life too long
Well, it's no good
Please believe me, why don't you leave it alone
