Go Down Easy

Linda lost a lover
 In the early part of autumn
 And she moved out to the country
 Hoping all would be forgotten
 The last time that I saw her
 She was makin' sure the winter
 Wouldn't come through that old door frame
 Where the door is several inches
 From the ground, the cold hard ground
 And it's hard to go down easy
 And it's hard to keep from cryin'
 And it's hard to lose a lover
 In the early part of autumn
 Well, she learned to cook the meals
 And she learned to start the fire
 And she learned to make jewelry
 Out of stones and precious metals
 She sits down to the table
 With her friends and several others
 And she tries real hard to never be alone
 And it's hard to go down easy
 And it's hard to keep from cryin'
 And it's hard to lose a lover
 In the early part of autumn
 Now the winter wind blows cold
 Upon a fair and gentle soul
 And she feels as if her time is a-passin' easy
 Her friends are sometimes lovers
 Though they'll always be another
 She thinks about when the night time lays on down
 And it's hard to go down easy
 And it's hard to keep from cryin'
 And it's hard to lose a lover
 In the early part of autumn
 And it's hard to go down easy
 And it's hard to keep from cryin'
 And it's hard to lose a lover
 In the early part of autumn
