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
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
