Lyrics:

Hard time's are here
And everywhere you go
Times are harder
Than ever been before

Well, people, they are drifting
From door to door
But they can't find no heaven
I don't care where they go

You say youve got money
You better be sure
These hard times will kill you
Theyll drag you down slow

If I ever can get up off of this
Hard killing floor
You know Ill never get down
This low no more

You hear me singing
This old lonesome song
You know these hard times
Can't last us so long
