Hard Times Lyrics

My mother told me
Before she passed away
She said: son when I'm gone
Don't forget to pray
There will be hard times
Lord those hard times
Who knows better than I?

Well I soon found out
What my mother meant
When I had to p*** my clothes
Just to pay my 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?
