I’m getting tired of hanging around
Think I will marry and settle down
Because this old night life, this old sport life
Is killing me

I’ve got a letter from my home
Most of my friends are dead and gone
I begin to worry, I begin to wonder
About days to come

My mother used to talk to me
I was young and foolish and couldn’t see
Now I’ve got no mother
My sisters and brothers don’t care for me

Solo de guitarra

I swear I’m going to change my ways
I’m getting older everyday
When I was young and foolish
It was so easy to run and play

I’m getting tired of hanging around
Think I will marry and settle down
Because this old night life, this old sport life
Is killing me
