Hard, ain't it hard, ain't it hard
|
To love one who never did love you
|
Hard, ain't it hard, ain't it hard great god
|
To love one that never would be true
|
|
It was late last night when my true love came home
|
He was a-knockin' on my door
|
I got up in a fit of jealousy and I said
|
True love, don't come here anymore
|
|
Hard, ain't it hard, ain't it hard
|
To love one who never did love you
|
Hard, ain't it hard, ain't it hard great god
|
To love one that never would be true
|
|
The first time I seen my true love
|
He was a-knockin' at my door
|
The last time I seen his hard-hearted smile
|
He was lyin' dead on the floor
|
|
Hard, ain't it hard, ain't it hard
|
To love one who never did love you
|
Hard, ain't it hard, ain't it hard great god
|
To love one that never would be true
|
|
Don't go to drinkin' and gamblin'
|
Don't go there your sorrows to drown
|
This hard liquor place is a low-down disgrace
|
It's the meanest bad place in this town
|
|
Hard, ain't it hard, ain't it hard
|
To love one who never did love you
|
Hard, ain't it hard, ain't it hard great god
|
To love one that never would be true
|
