Short life of trouble
4 1
A few more words to part
4 4m
Short life of trouble dear girl
1 5 1
For a boy with a broken heart

1
You remember what you promised
4 1
Not more than a week ago
4 1
You promised that you’d marry me
5 1
Standing in your mama’s door

Now you’ve broke your promise
Go marry who you may
This old world’s so big and so wide
I’ll ramble back some day
