Hard Ain't It Hard

Woody Guthrie

CThere is a house in this Fold town,
CThat's where my true love lays aG7round,
Well, she Ctakes other women right Fdown on her knee,
And she Ctells them a little G7tale that she won't tell Cme.

Chorus:
It's hard and it's hard, ain't it Fhard,
To Clove one that never did love G7you.
It's Chard and it's hard, ain't it Fhard, great God,
To Clove one that G7never will be Ctrue.

Well, the first time that I seen my true love,
He (she) was a-walkin' past my door,
And the last time I seen his (her) false-hearted smile,
He (she) was dead on his (her) coolin' board.

Chorus

Now don't go to drinkin' and a-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.

Chorus

Now who's a-gonna kiss your ruby lips,
And who's a-gonna hold you to their breast,
Who's a-gonna talk the future over,
While I'm a-ramblin' in the West?

Chorus
