Oh well, it’s hard, ain’t it hard, 
         C
ain’t it hard
   G                           D
To love one who never did love you
              G

[Verse]
Well, there is a house in this old 
C
town
    G                              
And that’s where my true love lays 
 D
around
        G                       
And she sits down upon another’s 
 C
knee (do tell)
    G                  D          
And tells him what she never will 
     G
tell me

[Chorus]
Oh well, it’s hard, ain’t it hard, 
         C
ain’t it hard (oh yes)
   G                           D
To love one who never did love you
              G                    
Oh well, it’s hard, ain’t it hard, 
         C
ain’t it hard, great god
   G            D             G
To love one who never will be true

          G                D
She was a-standing a-by my door
        G                   
And the last time I seen her 
 C
false-hearted smile
        G            D       G
She was dead on that barroom floor 
(porter)

[Chorus]
Oh well, it’s hard, ain’t it hard,

Oh well, it’s hard, ain’t it hard, 
         C
ain’t it hard, great god
   G            D             G
To love one who never will be true

[Verse]
Well, who’s gonna kiss your ruby 
C
lips?
G                            D
Who’s gonna hold your little hand?
    G                    C
And who’s gonna do, well, you know 
what
     G        D                G
When I’m down in that promised land?
 (hey)

To love one who never did love you
              G                    
Oh well, it’s hard, ain’t it hard, 
         C
ain’t it hard, great god

Oh well, this hard liquor place is
