Hard Time Blues 歌词
Hard Time Blues (艰难时刻) - Josh White (乔什·怀特)
Well I went down home 'bout a year ago
Things so bad Lord my heart was sore
Folks had nothin' was a sin an' a shame
Everybody said hard times was to blame
Great God Almighty folks feelin' bad
Lost everything they ever had
Great God Almighty folks feelin' bad
Lost everything they ever had
They had skinny looking children bellies pokin' out
That old pellagra without a doubt
Old folk hangin' 'round the cabin door
Ain't seen times this hard before
Great God Almighty folks feelin' bad
Lost everything they ever had
Great God Almighty folks feelin' bad
Lost everything they ever had
Now the sun was a shinin' fourteen days and no rain
Hoein' and plantin' was all in vain
They had hard hard times Lord all around
Meal barrel's empty crops burned to the ground
Great God Almighty folks feelin' bad
Lost everything they ever had
Great God Almighty folks feelin' bad
Lost everything they ever had
Then I went to the boss at the Commissary store
Folks all sobbin'
Please don't close your door
We want more food and a little more time to pay
Boss man laughed and walked away
Great God Almighty folks feelin' bad
Lost everything they ever had
Great God Almighty folks feelin' bad
Lost everything they ever had
Now your landlord comes around when your rent is due
And if you ain't got his money take your home from you
He'll take your mule and horse even take your cow
Says Get off of my land You're no good no how
Great God Almighty folks feelin' bad
Lost everything they ever had
Great God Almighty folks feelin' bad
Lost everything they ever had
