Hard times is here and everywhere you go
Times are harder than they ever been before
Um, hm-hm

You know that people they are drifting from door to door
But they can’t find no heaven I don’t care where they go
Um, hm-hm

Hear me tell you people just before I go
These hard times will kill you just dry long so
Um, hm-hm

Well, you hear me singing this old lonesome song
People, you know these hard times can last us so very long
Hm, hm-hm

People, if I ever can get up Off of this old hard killing floor
Lord, I’ll never get down this low no more
Um, hm-hm-hm

You know, you’ll say you had money you better be sure
But these hard times gonna kill you just drive a lonely soul
Um, hm-hm
Umm, hmm
Umm, hm-hm
