Hard Times |
| There was a Camptown man, used to plow and sing |
| He loved that mule and the mule loved him |
| And when the day got long as it does about now |
| I’d hear him singing to his muley cow |
| Calling, «Come on my sweet old girl |
| I’d bet the whole damn world |
| We’re gonna make it yet to the end of the row» |
| Singing, hard times ain’t gonna rule my mind |
| Hard times ain’t gonna rule my mind, Bessie |
| Hard times ain’t gonna rule my mind no more |
| Said it’s a mean old world, heavy in need |
| That big machine is just picking up speed |
| They were supping on tears; |
| they were supping on wine |
| We all get to heaven in our own sweet time |
| So come on all you Asheville boys |
| Turn up your old-time noise |
| Kick 'til the dust comes up from the cracks in the floor |
| Singing, hard times ain’t gonna rule my mind, brother |
| Hard times ain’t gonna rule my mind |
| Hard times ain’t gonna rule my mind no more |
| But the Camptown man doesn’t plow no more |
| I seen him walking down to the cigarette store |
| I guess he lost that knack; |
| he forgot that song |
| Woke up one morning and his mule was gone |
| So come on you ragtime kings |
| Come on you dogs and sing |
| Pick up the dusty old horn and give it a blow |
| Playing hard times ain’t gonna rule my mind, honey |
| Hard times ain’t gonna rule my mind, sugar |
| Hard times ain’t gonna rule my mind no more |
