The lyrics go something like:

????????? in the morning at tenement yard
Love is hard, is hard

Over the years I have found the following artists with songs titled 'Tenement Yard', so we can eliminate them:
Gregory Isaacs, Jacob Miller, Dennis Brown, Eddie Fitzroy, Mystic Roots, Inner Circle, Gil Felix, Kayamanaya, Tougher Than Tough, Gladiators, Afetos, Jolly Boys, Eddie Constantine, Kojak, Vern Maytone, Crime X, Wayne Marshall

I guess it is possible that it's not called that at all and I may even not remember those words from the chorus correctly.

Here's a basic recreation of it:-

I hope someone out there can help! Thank you so much.
