Hard time's is here
An ev'rywhere you go
Times are harder
Than th'ever been befo'

Um hm-hm

You know that people
They are driftin' from do' to do'
But they can't find no heaven
I don't care where they go

Um hm-hm
Um-uh-hm
Mm-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'

Um hm-hm-hm

Well you hear me singin'
This old lonesome song
People you know these hard times
Can't last us so long

Hm hm-hm
Hmm hmm
Hm hm-hm
Hm hm-hm oh lord

You know you'll say you had money
You better be sho'
But these hard times gon' kill you
Just drive a lonely soul

Um hm-hm
Umm hmm
Umm hm-hm
Hm hm-hm-hm
