Woody Guthrie (우디 거스리) - Hard, Ain`t It Hard (`41)

And It's a-hard and it's hard, ain't it hard To love one that never did love you? And It's a-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 town, That's where my true love lays around. Takes other women right down on his knee Tells them a tale he won't tell me.   And It's a-hard and it's hard, ain't it hard To love one that never did love you? And It's a-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' and gamblin', Don't go there your sorrows to drown. That hard-liquor place is a low-down disgrace, It's meanest damn place in this town.   And It's a-hard and it's hard, ain't it hard To love one that never did love you? And It's a-hard, and it's hard, ain't it hard, great God, To love one that never will be true?   Well first time I seen my true Iove He was walkin' by my door. Last time l seen his false hearted smile He was dead on his coolin' board.   And It's a-hard and it's hard, ain't it hard To love one that never did love you? And It's a-hard, and it's hard, ain't it hard, great God, To love one that never will be true?   And It's a-hard and it's hard, ain't it hard To love one that never did love you? And It's a-hard, and it's hard, ain't it hard, great God, To love one that never will be true?     ※ 우디거스리는 전설적 흑인뮤지션 리드벨리와 더불어 한시대를 풍미했고 포크음악의 기틀을 세우신 분입니다. 후에 피트시거등과 Almanac Singers란 그룹을 결성하여 활동하기도 하였죠. 밥딜런은 그를 스승으로 모셨고, 피트시거등 많은 포크인들이 그의 영향을 받지않은이가 없습니다. 포크음악의 진정한대부 Woody Guthrie... 이곡은 '41년에 나온곡입니다.
