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



  * Refrain



Now you've gone and left me
I don't know what I'll do
I'd give this world and half of my life
Just to be married to you



  * Refrain



Now you've broken your promise
Go marry whom you may
In this old world so big and so wide
I'll ramble back some day



  * Refrain



My right foot's on the platform
My left foot's on the train
I'm leaving you and this lonesome old town
To never return again



  * Refrain
