Hard Times
Well papa lost his job just one year ago
And the fields dried up and won't grow no more
Mama's in the kitchen, but there ain't no food
Said ohhh hard times

Well my brother died just two day ago
In the rocky ground we laid him down
Mama cried "God, please save his soul"
Said ohhh hard times

Well my wife just told me yesterday
That we'd have one more mouth to feed
Then how can a nice man make his way?
Said ohhh hard times

Well I'm gonna rob that bank tomorrow
So that my family might see tomorrow
But now they're draggin' me up to the gallows
Said ohhh hard times

Said ohhh hard times
Ohhh hard times
Said ohhh hard times
Ohh hard times
