Ain't It Hard

I know a man

He was born to be a poor

It made him so complain now (??)

He decided to settle the score

He hit a bank

Said he'd like taking care of my child (??)

He will leave him high on the hole (??)

But he only left for a little while

Knock at his door

Who could it be

Noone (??) but the Law

And then he put his gun yeah

And he shot the first men he saw

He killed them dead

You know the other men shot back

Now he's living in a wheelchair

Down at Blackpool down on the track

Ain't it hard

It got to be real hard

To get what he wanted

[Let me tell you a little something else

Now listen to the song]

I know a woman

And he hit her every day (??)

You know she won't find no man (??)

She won't find a shepherd (??) just to get hurt

You see she ain't to be

She don't look too wrong now (??)

But her children're hungry

They're hungry as the day is long (??)

You see they put her man

They put him in an institution

Now she ain't got nothing no

She got nothing but a revolution

You see she lost her job

Now she got to try again yeah

You ain't no welfare it (??)

They had to get back on her feet again yeah yeah

Ain't it hard

It got to be real hard

To get what she's lacking
