Lindisfarne - Sporting Life Blues lyrics

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 k**ing 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 k**ing 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 k**ing me Oh it's a bad life, that mean old sporting life And it's k**ing me.
