Hard times |
My Grandma’s Grandpa |
Came over across the sea |
In the boiler room of a steam ship |
On his way from Germany |
He was running from the Kaiser |
Who was putting the hammer down |
And the cries of the dying men |
Were such an awful sound |
They were such an awful sound |
Hard times |
Hard times |
Hard times made us |
And my father was a railroad man |
A mechanic, and son of the soil |
His back was busted |
And his hands were cut and sore |
His hands were cut and sore |
But he swore that hard times |
Hard times |
Hard times made us |
You know that hard times |
Hard times |
Hard times made us |
And I would not trade them all for anything |
Uncle Sam |
Well he ain’t no kin to me |
And what we have |
Is a crisis of authority |
Its a crisis of authority |
Hard times |
Hard times |
Hard times made us |
You know that hard times |
Hard times |
Hard times made us |
And I would not trade them all for anything |
