Hard Times

Well papa lost his job just one year ago

And the fields dried up and won't grow no more

Mama's in the kitchen, but there ain't no food

Said ohhh hard times



Well my brother died just two day ago

In the rocky ground we laid him down

Mama cried "God, please save his soul"

Said ohhh hard times



Well my wife just told me yesterday

That we'd have one more mouth to feed

Then how can a nice man make his way?

Said ohhh hard times



Well I'm gonna rob that bank tomorrow

So that my family might see tomorrow

But now they're draggin' me up to the gallows

Said ohhh hard times



Said ohhh hard times

Ohhh hard times

Said ohhh hard times

Ohh hard times
