Chorus:
E
Short life of trouble
A E
A few more words to part
A E C#m
Short life of trouble, dear girl
E B A E
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
Chorus
Now you broke your promise
Go marry whom you may
For this old world is so big and so wide
I’ll ramble back some day
Chorus
Now you’ve gone and left me
I don’t know what I’ll do
I’d give this world and half my life
Just to be married to you
Chorus

Short life of trouble, dear girl
E B A E
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
Chorus
Now you broke your promise
Go marry whom you may
For this old world is so big and so wide
I’ll ramble back some day
Chorus
Now you’ve gone and left me
I don’t know what I’ll do
I’d give this world and half my life
Just to be married to you
