Ain't it hard,
hard, ain't it hard, oh Lord,
to love one that don't love you?
Ain't it hard, hard, ain't it hard, oh Lord,
to love one that don't love you?
Yodel -a -dee -dee -wee,
yodel -a -dee -dee -dee
It was late last night when I got home
I knocked and I knocked at the door
My wife came down in her stonkin' feet
I said, baby, won't you open that door?
Ain't it hard, hard, ain't it hard, oh Lord,
To love one that don't love you?
Ain't it hard, hard, ain't it hard, oh Lord,
To love one that don't love
you?
I wish I was down in New Orleans,
a -sittin' in a rockin' chair.
Cause if the blues should come to me,
I could rock them away from here.
Ain't it hard, hard, ain't it hard, oh Lord,
to love one that don't love you.
Ain't it hard, hard, ain't it hard, oh Lord,
to love one that don't love you?
Yodel -a -dee -dee -hoo,
yodel -a -dee -dee -hoo
Last night I stood on the river bridge
Thought I'd drown my troubles away
If it hadn't come in from
a very best friend
I'd be in my grave today
Ain't it hard, hard, ain't it hard, oh Lord,
To love one that don't love you?
Ain't it hard, hard, ain't it hard, oh Lord,
To love one that don't love you?
Young laddy, we feel the need to leave.
