It Ain't Easy

Lyrics: Ron Davies
Music: Ron Davies

Sung by Patti Cathcart on Matt Kelly's album album A Wing And A Prayer. It is credited on the album to Long John Baldry, who recorded it in 1968, but it appears the author was in fact Ron Davies.

Well you go up on the mountain top
And you look out across the sea
Think about all the places where a young man could be
And then you jump down on the rooftops
And you look out across the town
Think about all the strange things circulating round
'Cause it ain't easy, it ain't easy, no
It ain't easy, it ain't easy, no
It ain't easy, yeah, when you're going down

Well the people they got got their problems
That ain't nothing new
With patience and understanding
They will get you on through
They will get you on through
And they will see you guilty, yeah
And they will take you up
And then they'll let you down
'Cause it ain't easy, no, no, it ain't easy, no
It ain't easy, it ain't easy, no
It ain't easy, yeah, when you're going down

Satisfaction, satisfaction
Tell me who is satisfied
Would she take it as she hold it
Deep down inside
As she hold it deep inside lord
And she bites you with her teeth
And the woman that want your love
She can give you some relief
