Hard Ain't It Hard (From the Album The Kingston Trio) - The Kingston Trio

Well, it’s hard.

Ain’t it hard?

Ain’t it hard, great God, to love one who never

will be true?

The first time I seen my true love she was a-standin' by my door

And the last time I seen her false-hearted smile, she was dead on that bar room

floor!

(Poor girl!)

Well, it’s hard.

Ain’t it hard?

Ain’t it hard (oh, yes) to love one who never

did love you

Well, it’s hard.

Ain’t it hard?

Ain’t it hard, great God, to love one who never

will be true?

Well, who’s gonna kiss your ruby lips?

(Not you, sweetie!) Who’s gonna hold

your little hand?

(Hand?)

Who’s gonna do, well, you know what, when I’m down in that promised land?

(I will!)

Well, it’s hard.

Ain’t it hard?

Ain’t it hard (oh, yes) to love one who never

did love you

Well, it’s hard.

Ain’t it hard?

Ain’t it hard, great God, to love one who never

will be true?

Well, don’t go drinkin' and gamblin'.

Don’t go there your sorrows for to drown

This hard liquor place is a low-down disgrace.

It’s the meanest damn place in

this town!

Well, it’s hard.

Ain’t it hard?

Ain’t it hard (oh, yes) to love one who never

did love you

Well, it’s hard.

Ain’t it hard?

Ain’t it hard, great God, to love one who never

will be true?
