The Sound Of Laughter

I stood in there in the shadowsAs they went strolling byNow she ain't my girl no longerThere's no reason I should cryBut I knew there went my futureAnd I couldn't stop the tearsAnd the sound of laughterRinging in my earsI spent every dime I had on herAnd when it was goneShe said hun, it's sure been funBut its time you moved alongSo I stood there in the shadowsAnd I had my .44I could hear her mocking laughterBut she won't laugh anymoreNow I'm down here in the gaolhouseAnd I know what brought me hereIt was the sound of laughterRinging in my earsWell I guess I should have left this townAnd her far behindFor the way that she made fun of meKeeps running through my mindWell the jury showed no mercyAnd I never asked for noneCause I know I've got it comingI'm not proud of what I've doneBut down here in this darknessMore and more I seem to hearThe sound of laughterRinging in my earsI hear the sound of laughterRinging in my ear
