Short Life of Trouble Charley Crockett

[Chorus]
A short life of trouble
A few short days to part
A short life of trouble, little girl
For the broken heart

[Verse 1]
Remember what you promised
Not but a week before
You promised that you'd marry me, girl
Now I'm knocking at your door

[Chorus]
A short life of trouble
A few short days to part
A short life of trouble, little girl
For the broken heart

[Verse 2]
Now you've broken your promise
Marry who you please
My poor heart is taken, little girl
And lying at your knees

[Chorus]
A short life of trouble
A few short days to part
A short life of trouble, little girl
For the broken heart
