The Hard Times of Old England - Bob Copper/Unknown/Ron Copper

Come all brother tradesmen that travel along

O pray come and tell me

Where the trade is all gone

Long time i have traveled

And I cannot find none

And sing all the hard times of old England

In old England very hard times

Provisions you buy at the shop it is true

But if you've no money

There's none there for you

So what's a poor man

And his family to do

And sing all the hard times of old England

In old England very hard times

If you go to the shop

And you'll ask for a job

They'll answer you there

With a shake and a nod

So that's enough to

Make a man turn out and rob

And it's all the hard times of old England

In old England very hard times

You will see the poor

Tradesmen a-walkin' the street

From morning to night for employment to seek

And scarce have they got any shoes to their feet

And it's all the hard times of old England

In old England very hard times

Our soldiers and sailors have just come from war

They been fighting for the Queen

And country this year

Come home to be starved

Better stay where they were

And sing all the hard times of old England

In old England very hard times

And now to conclude

And to finish my song

Let us hope that these hard times

They will not last long

I hope soon to have occasion to alter my song

And all the good times of old England

In old England jolly good times
