Hard Times      My mother told me   'Fore she passed away   Said son when I'm gone   Don't forget to pray      'Cause there'll be hard times   Lord those hard times   Who knows better than I?      Well I soon found out   Just what she meant   When I had to pawn my clothes   Just to pay the rent      Talkin' 'bout hard times   Lord those hard times   Who knows better than I?      I had a woman   Who was always around   But when I lost my money   She put me down      Talkin' 'bout hard times   Hard times   Yeah, yeah, who knows better than I?      Lord,   One of these days   There'll be no more sorrow   When I pass away      And no more hard times   No more hard times   Yeah, yeah, who knows better than I?
