The Lovin' of the Game - Judy Collins

Over shinin' golden sand

Struck the silver ribbon wide

Held a million in my hand

But besides the lookin' for

The finding’s always tame

And there’s nothin' drives a gambler

Like the lovin' of the game

All my life I’ve searched around

Travelin' 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 a fortune

For the lovin' of the game

So long Darlin' don’t you cry

I hope that things turn out for you

All these good times goin' by

Got to get ourselves a few

Where I’m going has no end

What I’m seeking has no name

Oh the treasure’s not for takin

It’s the lovin' of the game

The lovin' of the game
