lyrics

A short life of trouble,
a few more words to part.
A short life of trouble, dear girl,
for a boy with a broken heart.

You know what you promised.
It's been some time ago.
You promised me you'd marry me,
standing on the ballroom floor.

I hear the train a-coming.
She's going by the station door.
I'd rather be dead and in my grave,
than see my darling go.

And weeping on my bedside,
my eyes all wet with dew,
I gave that girl half of my life,
now she is married to you.
