Ramblin' Jack Elliott - Hard Ain't It Hard lyrics

There is a house in this old town 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 Hard and it's hard, ain't it hard To love one that never could love you? It's a-hard, and it's hard, ain't it hard, great God Just to love one that never will be true? Don't go to drinkin' or 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 Hard and it's hard, ain't it hard To love one that never could love you? It's a-hard, and it's hard, ain't it hard, great God Just to love one that never will be true? Who's goin' to kiss your ruby lips And who's goin' to hold you to his breast? And who will talk your future over While I'm out ramblin' in the West? Well it's hard and it's hard, ain't it hard To love one that never could love you? It's a-hard, and it's hard, ain't it hard, great God Just to love one that never will be true?
