hard times

baby

hard times everywhere i go

now these people keep cryin' 'bout hard times

they comin' more and more

now i don't even see what these poor people is going to do

now i can't see what people

these poor people is going to do

keep cryin' about these hard times and they coming more and more

now i went to the factory this mornin' where i had worked ten years ago

and i went to the factory this mornin' where i had worked ten years ago

and the bossman told me that they ain't hirin' in here no more

hard times

and it's hard times everywhere i go

hard times

boy

hard times everywhere i go

these people keep crying 'bout hard times and there's no work in here no more

now if i was a bluebird

mama

had my trunk packed on my back

hey if i was a bluebird

had my trunk packed on my back

i would fly away from this town

mama

and i'd swear i would never come back.
