One old shirt is all I've got,
and a dollar is all I crave.
Oh, I brought nothing to this whole wide world,
gonna take nothing to my grave.
Oh, ain't it hard, hard, oh
Lord, ain't it hard to love a girl
and tell me what you think
You're a long time making up your mind
Oh, you tell more lies than
Sweet baby, your heart's not mine
Oh, ain't it hard, hard, oh
To love a girl that don't love you
She just keeps rapping on the door
I wake up in my stocking feet
My baby don't rap no more
Oh, ain't it hard, hard, oh
Lord, ain't it hard to love a
girl that don't love you?
I'll love you, sweet baby, till the sea runs dry,
the rocks are at the sun.
I love you, baby, till the day I die,
then you may know I'm gone.
Oh, ain't it hard, hard, oh
Lord, ain't it hard to love a
girl that don't love you?
I wish I was on some rocky mountain top, sitting in my big armchair,
with one arm around my liquor keg, and the other one around my dear.
Oh, ain't it hard, hard, oh,
Lord, ain't it hard to love a
girl that don't love you?
