Short Life of Trouble


Ch:
    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
Standin' 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 broke your promise
Marry who you may
This ol' world so big and so wide
You'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

I hear the train a-comin'
It's comin' 'round the curve
Whistlin' and goin', oh Lord
Strainin' every nerve

    Short life of trouble
    A few more words to part
    Short life of trouble, dear girl
    For a boy with a broken heart
