Chorus
A short Life of Trouble , A few more days apart
A short Life of Trouble dear girl
For a boy with a broken heart
Remember what you promised
Though it's been sometime ago
You promised you would marry me
Standing at your mamas door
Repeat chorus
I hear the train a coming
She's going by the station door
I'd rather be dead and in my grave than to see my darling go
Chorus
I see my coffin coming
The crowd is standing round
Oh take me to some lonesome graveyard
And let the grave be my home
Chorus
Repeat chorus
