HARD, AIN'T IT HARD



First time I seen my true Iove

He was walkin' by my door

The last time l seen his false hearted smile

He was dead on the barroom floor



cho: It's hard and it's hard, ain't it hard

To love one that never did love you

Hard and it's hard, ain't it hard, great God,

To love one that never will be true.



There is a house in this old town,

That's where my true love lays around.

Takes other women right down on his knee

Tells them a tale that he won't tell me.



Don't go to drinkin' and to gamblin',

Don't go there your sorrows to drown.

This hard-liquor place is a low-down disgrace,

The meanest damn place in this town.
