Hard To Love A Woman - Lighnin' Hopkins, Sonny Terry

Ain’t it hard to love a woman

When that woman don’t love you

Just tell me if I’m the truth or not

I said, ain’t it hard to love a woman

When that woman, she don’t love you

Just listen I’m tellin' the truth

You know, she have your poor mind, no, no wonder

Oh Lord and you don’t know one word you wanna do

She said go ahead and tell it true, son

Yes, I said, I just might at will

She said go ahead on and tell it true, son

I said, baby, I just might at will

She said what you gonna tell me this time?

I said, if you woman don’t quit

Treating us man like you do

Oh Lord, you gonna burn in, burn in hell

You know, I’ll give you all my money

Tell me what more can I do

I’ll give you all my money

Tell me what more can I do

Well, just like you treat poor Sam

Someone gonna treat you the same way too, Lord, have mercy

I did hate to be standing 'round crying

Over something I really love

I just hate to be standing 'round crying

Gee, see oh something that I really love

Oh, I be loving that woman

Oh girl, maybe somewhere loving you
