EThere is a house in this old town,
 And tAhat's where my true love lays aroBund.
 And he taEkes other women right dAown on his knee
 And he tEells them a tBale he won't tell Eme.
 It's hEard and it's hard, ain't it hAard
 To loEve one that never did love yBou?
 It's hEard, and it's hard, ain't it hAard, great God,
 To lEove one that neBver will be trEue

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
