I've seen this classified as "rockabilly:"


BROKEN DOLL
Words, Johnny Bond; music, Lester Blackwell.
As recorded by Johnny Bond, 1957.

1. A broken doll, that's what you are,
For he held you away too high.
Now you've fallen; yes, you've fallen.
You're just a broken, broken, broken, broken doll,
Broken doll.

2. Pretty dolls were once your playthings,
And you laughed to see them break.
Now he's laughin' while you're cryin',
Pretty broken, broken, broken, broken doll,
Broken doll.

3. Why don't I go and dry your teardrops
Like I've done so many times?
But you won't let me; you don't want me,
Pretty broken, broken, broken, broken doll.
Broken doll.

TAG: Now you've fallen; yes, you've fallen.
You're just a broken, broken, broken, broken doll,
Broken doll.
