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

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

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