Hard, Ain't It Hard
DThere is a house in this old town,
And tGhat's where my true love lays aroAund.
And he taDkes other women right dGown on his knee
And he tDells them a tAale he won't tell Dme.
It's hDard and it's hard, ain't it hGard
To loDve one that never did love yAou?
It's hDard, and it's hard, ain't it hGard, great God,
To lDove one that neAver will be trDue
First time I seen my true love
He was walkin' by my door.
The next time I saw his false hearted smile
He was layin' dead and cold on floor.
Don't go to drinkin' or to gamblin',
Don't go there your sorrows to drown.
That hard-liquor place is a low-down disgrace,
It's the meanest old place in this town
