One, two ♪ I shot her in the valley next to my childhood home When she said she didn't love me anymore I can still hear her crying before I dried her tears for good With one shot from my beloved .44 I killed her because I loved my darlin' so And I could not bear to stand by and watch her go She died quick and went without much pain Now I'm left to live and never love again ♪ I buried her in the valley next to my childhood home In an unmarked grave never to be found I can still see her face so beautiful to me As I laid her in that cold, cold ground And I killed her because I loved my darlin' so And I could not bear to stand by and watch her go She died quick and went without much pain But I'm left to live and never love again Now I'm left to live and never love again
