Hard Ain’t It Hard Lyrics by Cisco Houston

Cisco Houston Sings the Songs of Woody Guthrie

1963

It's hard and it's hard, ain't it hard
To love one that never did love you
It's hard and it's hard, ain't it hard
Great God
To love one that never will be true
The first time I seen my darling true love
He was a'walkin' by my door
The next time I saw his false-hearted smile
He was dead on his cooling board
It's hard and it's hard, ain't it hard
To love one that never did love you
It's hard and it's hard, ain't it hard
Great God
To love one that never will be true
There is a house in this old town
That's where my true love lays around
And takes other women right down on his knee
And tells them a tale he won't tell me
It's hard and it's hard, ain't it hard
To love one that never did love you
It's hard and it's hard, ain't it hard
Great God
To love one that never will be true
Don't you go to drinkin' and gamblin'
Don't go there your sorrows to drown
That hard liquor place
Is a lowdown disgrace
The meanest damn place in this town
It's hard and it's hard, ain't it hard
To love one that never did love you
It's hard and it's hard, ain't it hard
Great God
To love one that never will be true
