EbThere is a house in this old town,
 And tG#hat's where my true love lays aroBbund.
 And he taEbkes other women right dG#own on his knee
 And he tEbells them a tBbale he won't tell Ebme.
 It's hEbard and it's hard, ain't it hG#ard
 To loEbve one that never did love yBbou?
 It's hEbard, and it's hard, ain't it hG#ard, great God,
 To lEbove one that neBbver will be trEbue

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
