Lyrics
Well, it's hard. Ain't it hard? Ain't it hard (oh, yes) to love one who never
Did love you
Well, it's hard. Ain't it hard? Ain't it hard, great God, to love one who never
Will be true?
Well, there is a house in this old town. That's where my true love lays around
She sits down upon another's knee (do tell) and tells him what she never will
Tell me
Well, it's hard. Ain't it hard? Ain't it hard (oh, yes) to love one who never
Did love you
Well, it's hard. Ain't it hard? Ain't it hard, great God, to love one who never
Will be true?
The first time I seen my true love she was a-standin' by my door
And the last time I seen her false-hearted smile, she was dead on that bar room
Floor! (Poor girl!)
Well, it's hard. Ain't it hard? Ain't it hard (oh, yes) to love one who never
Did love you
Well, it's hard. Ain't it hard? Ain't it hard, great God, to love one who never
Will be true?
Well, who's gonna kiss your ruby lips? (Not you, sweetie!) Who's gonna hold
Your little hand? (Hand?)
Who's gonna do, well, you know what, when I'm down in that promised land? (I
Will!)
Well, it's hard. Ain't it hard? Ain't it hard (oh, yes) to love one who never
Did love you
Well, it's hard. Ain't it hard? Ain't it hard, great God, to love one who never
Will be true?
Well, don't go drinkin' and gamblin'. Don't go there your sorrows for to drown
This hard liquor place is a low-down disgrace. It's the meanest damn place in
This town
Well, it's hard. Ain't it hard? Ain't it hard (oh, yes) to love one who never
Did love you
Well, it's hard. Ain't it hard? Ain't it hard, great God, to love one who never
Will be true?
