Hard time here and everywhere you go
Times is harder than ever been beforeAnd the people are driftin' from door to door
Can't find no heaven, I don't care where they goHear me tell you people, just before I go
These hard times will kill you just dry long soWell, you hear me singin' my lonesome song
These hard times can last us so very longIf I ever get off this killin' floor
I'll never get down this low no more
No-no, no-no, I'll never get down this low no moreAnd you say you had money, you better be sure
'Cause these hard times will drive you from door to doorSing this song and I ain't gonna sing no more
Sing this song and I ain't gonna sing no moreHard times will drive you from door to door
