Sound of Laughter

I stood in there in the shadows As they went strolling by Now she ain't my girl no longer There's no reason I should cry But I knew there went my future And I couldn't stop the tears And the sound of Laughter Ringing in my Ears I spent every dime I had on her And when it was gone She said hun, it's sure been fun But its time you moved along So I stood there in the shadows And I had my .44 I could hear her mocking laughter But she won't laugh anymore Now I'm down here in the gaolhouse And I know what brought me here It was the Sound of Laughter Ringing in my Ears Well I guess I should have left this town And her far behind For the way that she made fun of me Keeps running through my mind Well the jury showed no mercy And I never asked for none Cause I know I've got it coming I'm not proud of what I've done But down here in this darkness More and more I seem to hear The sound of laughter Ringing in my ears I hear the Sound of Laughter Ringing in my Ear
