She says she s very sorry as she sees you to the gate	A
You calmly say Good bye to her while standing off a yard	B
Then you lift your hat and leave her walking mighty stiff and straight	A
But you re hit old man hit hard	B
In your brain the words are burning of the answer that she gave	C
As you turn the nearest corner and you stagger just a bit	D
But you pull yourself together for a man s strong heart is brave	C
When it s hit old man hard hit	D
	-
You might try to drown the sorrow but the drink has no effect	E
You cannot stand the barmaid with her coarse and vulgar wit	D
And so you seek the street again and start for home direct	E
When you re hit old man hard hit	D
	-
You see the face of her you lost the pity in her smile	F
Ah she is to the barmaid as is snow to chimney grit	D
You re a better man and nobler in your sorrow for a while	F
When you re hit old man hard hit	D
	-
And arriving at your lodgings with a face of deepest gloom	G
You shun the other boarders and your manly brow you knit	D
You take a light and go upstairs directly to your room	G
But the whole house knows you re hit	D
	-
You clutch the scarf and collar and you tear them from your throat	H
You rip your waistcoat open like a fellow in a fit	D
And you fling them in a corner with the made to order coat	H
When you re hit old man hard hit	D
	-
You throw yourself despairing on your narrow little bed	I
Or pace the room till someone starts with Skit cat skit	D
And then lie blindly staring at the plaster overhead	I
You are hit old man hard hit	D
	-
It s doubtful whether vanity or love has suffered worst	J
So neatly in our nature are those feelings interknit	J
Your heart keeps swelling up so bad you wish that it would burst	J
When you re hit old man hard hit	J
	-
You think and think and think and think till you go mad almost	J
Across your sight the spectres of the bygone seem to flit	J
The very girl herself seems dead and comes back as a ghost	J
When you re hit like this hard hit	J
	-
You know that it s all over you re an older man by years	K
In the future not a twinkle in your black sky not a split	J
Ah you ll think it well that women have the privilege of tears	L
When you re hit old man hard hit	J
	-
You long and hope for nothing but the rest that sleep can bring	M
And you find that in the morning things have brightened up a bit	J
But you re dull for many evenings with a cracked heart in a sling	M
When you re hit old man hard hit	J
