Almanac Singers

The Almanac Singers was an American New York City-based folk music group, active between 1940 and 1943, founded by Millard Lampell, Lee Hays, Pete Seeger, and Woody Guthrie. As their name indicated, they specialized in topical songs, mostly songs advocating an anti-war, anti-racism and pro-union philosophy. They were part of the Popular Front, an alliance of liberals and leftists, including the Communist Party USA (whose slogan, under their leader Earl Browder, was "Communism is twentieth century Americanism"), who had vowed to put aside their differences in order to fight fascism and promote racial and religious inclusiveness and workers' rights. The Almanac Singers felt strongly that songs could help achieve these goals. more »

And it's hard and it's hard, ain't it hard
To love one that never did love you?
And it's hard and it's hard, ain't it hard, great God
To love one that never will be true?

There is a house in this old town
And that's where my true love lays around
And he takes other women right down on his knee
And he tells them a little tale he won't tell me

And it's hard and it's hard, ain't it hard
To love one that never did love you?
And it's hard and it's hard, ain't it hard, great God
To love one that never will be true?

Well, don't you 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

And it's hard and it's hard, ain't it hard
To love one that never did love you?
And it's hard and it's hard, ain't it hard, great God
To love one that never will be true?

Well, the first time I seen my true love
He was walkin' by my door
The next time I saw his false hearted smile
He was dead on his blue board

And it's hard and it's hard, ain't it hard
To love one that never did love you?
And it's hard and it's hard, ain't it hard, great God
To love one that never will be true?

And it's hard and it's hard, ain't it hard
To love one that never did love you?
And it's hard and it's hard, ain't it hard, great God
To love one that never will be true?
