Lyrics John, Ain't It Hard - Taj Mahal
Soon
as
the
train
Reach
that
old
station
And
make
up
to
the
yard
I'm
gonna
call
out
to
that
old
conductor
Saying
john
John,
ain't
it
hard
Saw
my
baby
My
sweet
baby
She
was
all
dressed
up
in
red
It
was
not
the
clothes
she
wore
It
was
these
old
sweet
words
she
said
She
say
"Daddy!"
"Sweet
daddy!
Last
night
I
dreamed
the
whole
wide
world
was
mine
You
know
I
woke
up
laughing
Woke
up
laughing
To
keep
from
crying"
Please
don't
you
cry
babe
Give
me
one
kiss
And
after
two
kisses
don't
you
cry
no
more
Ah
baby
You
know
what
life
and
love
is
for
Baby
My
sweet
baby
Mamma
it's
so
nice
to
have
you
awww
back
home
I
was
getting
so
tired
Of
living
all
alone
As
soon
as
that
old
train
Reach
that
old
station
And
make
up
in
the
yard
I'm
a
call
out
to
that
ol'
conductor
Saying
john!
John
ain't
it
hard
Singing
john
Oh
johnnnnn
Ain't
it
hard
Johnnnnn
Oh
johnnnnnnn
Ain't
it
harrrrrd
