Hard, Ain't It Hard
CThere is a house in this old town,
And tFhat's where my true love lays aroGund.
And he taCkes other women right dFown on his knee
And he tCells them a tGale he won't tell Cme.
It's hCard and it's hard, ain't it hFard
To loCve one that never did love yGou?
It's hCard, and it's hard, ain't it hFard, great God,
To lCove one that neGver will be trCue
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
