Hard Ain´t It Hard - Woody Guthrie

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 God

To love one that never will be true?

First time I seen my true Iove

He was walkin' by my door

Last time l seen his false hearted smile

He was dead on his coolin' board

Don’t go to drinkin' and gamblin'

Don’t go there your sorrows to drown

That hard-liquor place is a low-down disgrace

It’s the meanest damn place in this town

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

And who’s goin' to hold you to their breast?

And who will talk your future over

While I’m ramblin' in the West?
