And 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
The Are 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
Well 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
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
Well 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
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
And 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
