Lyrics:
Wed get up before sun-up to get the work done upWed work in the fields till the sun had gone downWeve stood and weve cried as we have bristly watchedA hailstorm a beatin our crops to the groundWeve gone to bed hungry many nights in the pastIn the good old days when times were badChorus:No amount of money could buy from meThe memories that I have of thenNo amount of money could pay meTo go back and live through it againIve seen daddys hands break open and bleedAnd Ive seen him work till hes stiff as a boardAn Ive seen momma layin in suffer and sicknessIn need of a doctor we couldnt affordAnything at all was more than we hadIn the good old days when times were badWeve got up before and found ice on the floorWhere the wind would blow snow through the cracks in the wallAnd I couldnt enjoy then, havin a boyfriendI had nothing decent to wear at allSo I long for a love that I never hadIn the good old days when times were badRepeat chorusTag:In the good old days when times were badIn the good old days when times were bad
