[Verse 1]
A short life of trouble
A few more words to part
A short life of trouble, poor boy
Little girl with a broken heart

[Verse 2]
I see that train a-comin'
And in the station blow
I'd rather be dead and buried, poor boy
Than to know I have to go

[Verse 1]
Short life of trouble
A few more words to part
A short life of trouble, poor boy
Little girl with a broken heart
