She Was Young And She Was Pretty Lyrics by Marty Robbins
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
She was young and she was pretty
She was warm and tender too
She was all a man could ask for
But her heart could not be true
No, her heart could not be true

Eyes that sparkle just like diamonds
Lips as fresh as morning dew
She was young and she was fickle
And her heart could not be true
No, her heart could not be true

Cheeks just like a rose when blooming
And a form so fine and rare
Curls that hung below her shoulders
Gold the color of her hair

Now she's gone no one can claim her
In my cell I'm sad and blue
One bright night, I shot and killed her
She was young and so untrue
She was young and so untrue

One bright night, I watched another kissed her
Like I used to do
So I drew my gun and killed her
She was young and so untrue

In the morning just at daybreak
When the roses kissed the dew
I shall hang because I killed her
She was young and so untrue
She was young and so untrue
She was young and she was pretty   She was warm and tender too   She was all a man could ask for   But her heart could not be true   No, her heart could not be true      Eyes that sparkle just like diamonds   Lips as fresh as morning dew   She was young and she was fickle   And her heart could not be true   No, her heart could not be true      Cheeks just like a rose when blooming   And a form so fine and rare   Curls that hung below her shoulders   Gold the color of her hair      Now she's gone no one can claim her   In my cell I'm sad and blue   One bright night, I shot and killed her   She was young and so untrue   She was young and so untrue      One bright night, I watched another kissed her   Like I used to do   So I drew my gun and killed her   She was young and so untrue      In the morning just at daybreak   When the roses kissed the dew   I shall hang because I killed her   She was young and so untrue   She was young and so untrue
