Lyrics The Stanley Brothers

The Stanley Brothers

Short Life Of Trouble

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
