Luyện nghe bài hát My Sporting Life

Words and by John Kay

I can't show you the years of my life
That I spend on the road to
Don't let it throw you, I know of strife
I know what it's like to
I 'em a glad song, played 'em a sad song
Sang 'em the whole long
Just for a dollar or what could offer
To ramblin' boy

the fun was done, I would pack my bags and I was gone
Though the women were there was nothing to bind me to one
somebody changed my rough and rowdy ways
Somebody my ole carousing days
Oh when I was a young boy I learned to
'Til somebody came and stayed my sportin'

I lived in the barrooms the juke joints and gin
I worked any dive in
Never to proud to pass my hat
In every I found
sing you a glad song, play you a sad song
Sing 'em the whole long
Just for a dollar or you can offer
To ramblin' boy

There were times when was the only feeling left in me
Or when the cold and the rain made it on a man to be free
'Till changed my tough and hungry days
Somebody my rough and rowdy ways
Now I don't really care no more 'bout nickels and a
The one I love is all I need to help me spend my
Somebody came and rolled my stone
came, and she made me feel at home
Somebody my rough and rowdy ways
changed my ole carousing days
Oh when I was boy I learned to stay alive
somebody came and stayed my sportin' life

I'll sing you a song, play you a sad song
Sing 'em the night long
Just for a dollar or what you can
To ramblin' boy
