BThere is a house in this old town,
 And tEhat's where my true love lays aroF#und.
 And he taBkes other women right dEown on his knee
 And he tBells them a tF#ale he won't tell Bme.
 It's hBard and it's hard, ain't it hEard
 To loBve one that never did love yF#ou?
 It's hBard, and it's hard, ain't it hEard, great God,
 To lBove one that neF#ver will be trBue

First time I seen my true love

He was walkin' by my door.

The next time I saw his false hearted smile

He was layin' dead and cold on floor.

Don't go to drinkin' or to gamblin',

Don't go there your sorrows to drown.

That hard-liquor place is a low-down disgrace,

It's the meanest old place in this town
