Judy Collins - The Lovin’ Of The Game [Intro] [Verse 1] I watched the Feather River glide Over shining golden sand Struck the silver ribbon wide Held a million in my hand [Verse 2] But besides the looking for The finding’s always tame And there’s nothing drives a gambler Like the lovin’ of the game [Verse 3] All my life I’ve searched around Travelin’ hard from town to town But I never really found Anything to tie me down [Verse 4] 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 [Instrumental] [Verse 5] 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 [Verse 6] Still I would not trade my time For a solid diamond claim Oh the treasure’s not for taking It’s the lovin’ of the game Oh the treasure’s not for taking It’s the lovin’ of the game___ The lovin’ of the game
