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 spend 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 someday
* 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
Now you have gone and left me
What now will I do?
I'd spend this world and half of my life
Just to be married to you
* Refrain
