Short Life of Trouble
Short life of trouble
A few more words to part
Short life of trouble, dear girl
For a boy with a broken heart
Remember what you promised
Not more than a week ago
You promised that you'd marry me
Standing in your mama’s door
Short life of trouble
A few more words to part
Short life of trouble, dear girl
For a boy with a broken heart
Now you've broken your promise
Go marry whom you may
For this old world so big and so wide
I'll ramble back some day
Short life of trouble
A few more words to part
Short life of trouble, dear girl
For a boy with a broken heart
Now you’ve gone and left me
I don't know what I'll do
I'd give this world and half my life
Just to be married to you
Short life of trouble
A few more words to part
Short life of trouble, dear girl
For a boy with a broken heart
