| Hard time’s is here
|
| An everywhere you go
|
| Times are harder
|
| Than the ever been before
|
| You know that people
|
| They are driftin' from door to door
|
| But they can’t find no heaven
|
| I don’t care where they go
|
| Um, hm-hm…
|
| People, if I ever can get up
|
| Off a-this old hard killin' flo'
|
| Lord, I’ll never get down
|
| This low no mo'
|
| When you hear me singin'
|
| This old lonesome song
|
| People, you know these hard times
|
| Can’t last us so long…
|
| You know, you’ll say you had money
|
| Well, you better be sho'
|
| But these hard times gon' kill you
|
| Just drive a lonely soul |
