Hard Times

My mother told me

Before she passed away

That 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?

I soon found out just what she meant

When I had to pawn my clothes

Just to pay my rent

Talkin' 'bout hard times

Hard times

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

hard times, you know them hard times, oh Lord, yeah, who knows better than I? Yeah, Lord,

one of these days, there'll be no more sorrow, when I pass away, and no more hard times,

I said, "No more heart, no more heartache, Lord."

Who knows our Lord better than I?
