(Red Steagall)      I hear they're hiring men in Oklahoma   And I've been blessed with two hard working hands   I'll take that job till the mill goes back to working   And we'll make it through the hard times again.      Like the preacher said in church last Sunday morning   Oh, the Lord does things we may not understand   We both know that he'll take care of his children   If we live every day the best we can.      And these hard times will be the closest times we've known   Let's laugh and dream of better days to come   These will be the good old days a little later on   And these hard times will be the closest times we've known.      You know that heaven smiles on us and gives us all we need   We've got so much we should be thankful for   Dry your eyes turn out the light let me hold you close   That makes these hard times the closest times we've known.      And these hard times will be the closest times we've known   Let's laugh and dream of better days to come   These will be the good old days a little later on   And these hard times will be the closest times we've known.      Yes, these hard times will be the closest times we've known...
