Hard, Ain't It Hard (Best Of The Vanguard Years, 2006)
Chorus: 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 darlin' 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.
Chorus:
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.
Chorus:
Don't you go to drinking and gambling, Don't go there your sorrows to drown. That hard liquor place is a low-down disgrace, The meanest damn place in this town.
