Hard Times

Don't you know hard times

Can't you see hard times are here to stay

You know hard times, hard times

Seem like they here to stay

Hard times, hard times

Oh boy don't you know it's worrying me

I ain't go no shoes on my feet

You know my clothes is very thin

I ain't got no shoes on my feet

You know my clothes I wear is very thin

But don't get a job, put it soon

I don't know what I'm going to do

Hard times, hard times

Oh boys get me down

Don't you know hard times, hard times

Oh boys just get me down

I ain't got no shoes on my feet

Can't you see my clothes very thin

(Yes sir)

My little children cry for mercy

They got no food on the table

Children crying for my sake

They ain't got no food on my table

If thing going to change ain't going to don't change

Oh boy something I got to do is, I know it's wrong

(Yes sir)

(Yes sir)

(Yes sir)

My little children crying for mercy

Oh boys I don't know what I'm going to do

My children crying for mercy

Oh boys I don't know what I'm going to do

Hard times, hard times

Oh boy, just about to wreck my life

I wonder why do these things happen to me this way

(Yes sir)

I wonder why, I wonder why

Do these things happen to me this way

Hard times, hard times, hard times

Oh boy seem like they here to stay
