Hard times are here,

These times are harder than
they ever been before.

You know people are drifting
from door to door.
But they can find no heaven,
I don't care where they go.

Hear me tell you people, just before I go
These hard times will kill you just
dry long so
Well, you hear me singin' my lonesome song
These hard times can last us so very long
If 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 more
And you say you had money, you better be sure
'Cause these hard times will drive you from door to 
door
Sing this song and I ain't gonna sing no more
Sing this song and I ain't gonna sing no more
These hard times will drive you from door to door
