Hard Ain't it Hard

There is a house in this old town

And that's where my true love lays around

And he takes other women right down on his knee

And he tells them a little tale he won't tell me

It's a-hard and it's hard, ain't it hard

To love one that never did love you?

It's a-hard and it's hard, ain't it hard, great

GodTo love one that never will be true?

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

Well, who's goin' to kiss your ruby lips?

And who's goin' to hold you to his breast?

And who will talk your future over

While I'm out ramblin' in the

West?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
