there is a house in this old town. that's where my true love lays around

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!

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

great god

to love one who never will be true?
