I got a letter from my home
Most of my good friends are dead and gone
It’ll make you worry
It’ll make you wonder about days to come

My mother used to say to me
So young and foolish and I could not see
I have no mother
My sisters and brothers won’t talk to me

She used to fall on her knees and pray
These are the very words she used to say
She said, oh Johnny
My precious Johnny, please change your ways

I’m getting’ tired of runnin’ around
Think I’ll get married and settle down
This ole night life,
This sportin’ life, it’s killin’ me

I’ve been gambler and a cheater too
But now it’s come my time to lose
This ole sportin’ life
Has got the best hand, what can I do?

There ain’t but one thing that I think that I done wrong
I lived that sportin’ life, my friend, too long
I said, it’s no good
Please believe me, please leave it alone

I’m getting’ tired of runnin’ around
Think I’ll get married and settle down
This ole night life,
This sportin’ life, it’s killin’ me

I’ve been gambler and a cheater too
But now it’s come my time to lose
This ole sportin’ life
Has got the best hand, what can I do?

There ain’t but one thing that I think that I done wrong
I lived that sportin’ life, my friend, too long
I said, it’s no good
Please believe me, please leave it a‐lone

I’m getting’ tired of runnin’ around
Think I’ll get married and settle down
This ole night life, this sportin’ life, it’s killin’ me
