Hard times are here,

These times are harder than
they ever been before.

You know people are drifting
from door to door.
But they can find no heaven,
I don't care where they go.

Hear me tell you people, just before I go 
These hard times will kill you just 
dry long so 
Well, you hear me singin' my lonesome song 
These hard times can last us so very long 
If I ever get off this 
killin' floor 
I'll never get down this low no more 
No-no, no-no, I'll never get down this low no more 
And you say you had money, you better be sure 
'Cause these hard times will drive you from door to door 
Sing this song and I ain't gonna sing no more 
Sing this song and I ain't gonna sing no more 
These hard times will drive you from door to door
