Short Life of Trouble Songtext
von John Hartford

Short life of trouble
It′s only wise that we part
Short life of trouble
For a boy with a broken heart

You know what you promised
Not more than three weeks ago
You promised that you'd marry me
Standing there by by your mama′s kitchen door


Short life of trouble
It's only wise that we part
Short life of trouble
For a boy with a broken heart

Now you've broken your promise
So marry who you may
This old world is so big and so wide
I′ll ramble back again someday

Short life of trouble
It′s only wise that we part
Short life of trouble
For a boy with a broken heart
