Hard Times

Before she passed away
Said «Son when I’m gone
Don’t forget to pray»
'Cause there’ll be hard times
Hard times oh yeah, yeah
Who knows better than I?
Well I soon found out
Just what she meant
When I had to pawn my clothes
Just to pay my rent
Talkin' about hard times
Hard time oh yeah, yeah
Who knows better than I?
I had a woman
Who was always around
But when I lost my money
She put me down
Talkin' about hard times
You know that hard times
Lord who knows better than I?
Yeah Lord yeah, one of these days
There’ll be no more sorrow
When I pass away
And no more hard times
I said «No more hard times»
Yeah Lord who knows
Yeah Lord better than I
Before she passed away
Said «Son when I’m gone
