A Short Life of Trouble - Jean Ritchie

A short life of trouble

A few more words to part

A short life of trouble, poor boy

Little girl with a broken heart

I see that train a comin'

And in the station below

I’d rather be dead and buried, poor boy

Then to know I have to go

A short life of trouble

A few more words to part

A short life of trouble, poor boy

Little girl with a broken heart
