Hard Aint It Hard

Hard, Ain't It HardThe Kingston TrioWords and Music by Woody Guthrie- From their 1958 debut LP "The Kingston Trio"Oh well it's hard, ain't it hard, ain't it hardTo love one who never did love youOh well it's hard, ain't it hard, ain't it hard Great GodTo love one who never will be true.Well there is a house in this old townAnd that's where my true love lays aroundAnd she sits down upon another's knee (do tell)And tells him what she never will tell me.Oh well it's hard, ain't it hard, ain't it hard (oh yes)To love one who never did love youOh well it's hard, ain't it hard, ain't it hard Great GodTo love one who never will be true.Oh well the first time I seen my true loveShe was a'standing a'by my doorAnd the last time I seen her false-hearted smileShe was dead on that barroom floor. (porter)Oh well it's hard, ain't it hard, ain't it hard (oh yes)To love one who never did love youOh well it's hard, ain't it hard, ain't it hard Great GodTo love one who never will be true.Well who's gonna kiss your ruby lips?Who's gonna hold your little hand?And who's gonna do, well--you know what!When I'm down in that promised land? (hey)Oh well it's hard, ain't it hard, ain't it hard (oh yes)To love one who never did love youOh well it's hard, ain't it hard, ain't it hard Great GodTo love one who never will be true. (pick it)<Instrumental interlude>Oh well don't drinkin' and gamblin'Don't go there your sorrows for to drownOh well this hard liquor place is a low down disgraceIt's the meanest darn place in this town.Oh well it's hard, ain't it hard, ain't it hard (oh yes)To love one who never did love youOh well it's hard, ain't it hard, ain't it hard Great GodTo love one who never will be true. (here we go)Oh well it's hard, ain't it hard, ain't it hard (oh yes)To love one who never did love youOh well it's hard, ain't it hard, ain't it hard Great GodTo love one who never will be true.Transcribed by Ronald E.
