The Lovin' of the Game

The Lovin' Of The Game - Judy Collins

I watched the feather river glide

Over shinin' golden sand

Struck a silver ribbon wide

Held a million in my hand

But beside the lookin' for

The finders always take

And there's nothin' drives a gambler

Like the lovin' of the game

All my life I've searched around

Travellin' hard from town to town

But I never really found

Anything to tie me down

Still I would not trade my time

For a solid diamond claim

No I would not trade my fortune

For the lovin' of the game

So long darling don't you cry

I hope that things turn out for you

All these good times gone bye

Got to get ourselves a few

Still I would not trade my time

For a solid diamond claim

Oh the treasure's not for takin'

It's the lovin' of the game

Oh the treasure's not for takin'

It's the lovin' of the game

The lovin' of the game
