Short life of trouble
Just 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
Just 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 who you may
For this whole world, so big and so wide
I'll ramble back some day
Short life of trouble
Just 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 half of my life
Just to be married to you
(Oh it's a) short life of trouble
Just a few more words to part
(It's a) short life of trouble, dear girl
For a boy with a broken heart
(Hey it's a) short life of trouble
Just a few more words to part
Short life of trouble, dear girl
For a boy with a broken heart
