CThere is a house in this old town,
 And tFhat's where my true love lays aroGund.
 And he taCkes other women right dFown on his knee
 And he tCells them a tGale he won't tell Cme.
 It's hCard and it's hard, ain't it hFard
 To loCve one that never did love yGou?
 It's hCard, and it's hard, ain't it hFard, great God,
 To lCove one that neGver will be trCue

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
