Lyrics were added to a 1911 melody in 1951. All in the Game has been recorded numerous times, from Ricky Nelson to Merle Haggard. First it was a hit from Tommy Edwards, in 1958.
This version appeared on Morrison’s album “Into The Music” in 1979, the ninth song on side two with credit to Charles Daw...
[Intro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 1]
Many a tear has to fall
But it's all, it's all in the game, child
Said all in the wonderful game, alright
That we know as love (Whoo, yeah)
You had words with him
And your future's looking dim
But these things your heart can rise above
Once in a while he won't call, he won't call
But I heard you, it's all in the game
Soon he, soon he will be there
With a small, a small bouquet, he will
And he will kiss your lips
And caress you and just like that, touch you
And your heart will, yeah, fly away
[Verse 2]
You had words, words with him
And your future was looking, but don't you worry 'bout it
These things your heart, these things can rise above
Once in a while he won't, he won't, he won't call
But you gotta be patient
Soon he will be there
With a small, with a small bouquet
And he will kiss your lips
And caress your waiting fingertips, just like that
And your heart will fly away
[Outro]
Listen, listen, listen, listen, listen
He will kiss your lips
And touch you
And you will feel, you will feel like
You're gonna fly, fly
