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
