Oh well it’s hard, ain’t it hard, ain’t it hard
To love one who never did love you
Oh 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
And that’s where my true love lays around
And she sits down upon another’s knee (do tell)
And tells him what she never will tell me.

Oh well don’t go drinkin’ and gamblin’
Don’t go there your sorrows for to drown
Oh well this hard liquor place is a low down disgrace
It’s the meanest darn place in this town.
