Sporting Life Blues   (Walter B. McGhee)   from: Buried Treasues Vol. 1
-------------------


1.)
I got a letter, from my home
          F		 F7
saying most of my good friends, they're dead and gone
		   Bb				  Bbm
that old night life, that mean old sporting life
	  F	    Dm		     Bb	     C
you know it's killing me.
		       F, F7, Bb, Bbm, F, C7


2.)
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.


3.)
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 killing me.


Instrumental: ( Harmonica Solo, like verse )

Instrumental: ( Guitar Solo, like verse )


4.)
My mother, she used to say to me
so young and foolish, that I can see
hey sunny, my lovin' sunny
why don't you change your ways.


5.)
I've been a gambler and a cheater, too
but now my time, my time is due
'cos that old night life, that mean old sporting life
you know it's killing me.
Oh it's a bad life, that mean old sporting life
and it's killing me.
