Lyrics:
Hard time's is hereAn ev'rywhere you goTimes are harderThan th'ever been befo'You know that peopleThey are driftin' from do' to do'But they can't find no heavenI don't care where they goPeople, if I ever can get upOff a-this old hard killin' flo'Lord, I'll never get downThis low no mo'Well, you hear me singin'This old lonesome songPeople, you know these hard timesCan't last us so longHm, hm-hm, oh LordYou know, you'll say you had moneyYou better be sho'But these hard times gon' kill youJust drive a lonely soul
