Hard Times

Before she passed away

Said "Son when I'm gone

Don't forget to pray"

'Cause there'll be hard times

Hard times oh yeah, yeah

Who knows better than I?

Well I soon found out

Just what she meant

When I had to pawn my clothes

Just to pay my rent

Talkin' about hard times

Hard time oh yeah, yeah

Who knows better than I?

I had a woman

Who was always around

But when I lost my money

She put me down

Talkin' about hard times

You know that hard times

Lord who knows better than I?

Yeah Lord yeah, one of these days

There'll be no more sorrow

When I pass away

And no more hard times

I said "No more hard times"

Yeah Lord who knows

Yeah Lord better than I

Before she passed away

Said "Son when I'm gone
