Got a song to sing you and it's no excuse
Got a song to sing you and it's no excuse
And as sure as the devil
I believe he's got aloose
You want a drink of liquor
You think it's awful nice
You want a drink of liquor
You think it's awful nice
You put your hand in your pocket
And you ain't got the price
You hear about a job
Now you is on your way
You hear about a job
Now you is on your way
Twenty mens after the same job
All in the same old day
Hard times hard times
We got hard times now
Hard times hard times
We sure got hard times now
Just drink and think about it
We got hard times now
You start in mooching
But your mooching been in vain
You start in mooching
But your mooching been in vain
Be careful with yourself
You'll get a ball and chain
Lard and bacon
Gone to a dollar a pound
Lard and bacon
Gone to a dollar a pound
Cotton have started to selling
But it keeps going down
And down
Just before election
You was talking about how you was
Going to vote
Just before election
You was talking about how you was
Going to vote
And after election was over
Your head's down like a billygoat
Hard times hard times
We sure got hard times now
Hard times hard times
We got hard times now
Just drink and think about it
We sure got hard times now
