She Was Young and She Was Pretty Lyrics

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 trueEyes 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 trueCheeks just like a rose when blooming
And a form so fine and rare
Curls that hung below her shoulders
Gold the color of her hairNow 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 untrueOne 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 untrueIn 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
