Now it's hard time baby

Hard times everywhere I go

Hard times baby hard times everywhere I go

Now these people keep cryin' bout hard times

They comin' more and more

Now I don't even see what these poor
People is going to do

Now I can't see what people these poor
People is going to do

Keep cryin' about these hard times and they coming
More and more

Now I went to the factory this mornin'

Where I had worked ten years ago

And I went to the factory this mornin'

Where I had worked ten years ago

And the bossman told me that they ain't hirin'
In here no more

Hard times boy and it's hard times
Everywhere I go

Hard times boy hard times everywhere
I go

These people keep crying bout hard times
And there's no work in here no more

Now if I was a bluebird mama had my trunk
Packed on my back

Hey if I was a bluebird had my trunk
Packed on my back

I would fly away from this town mama
And I'd swear I would never come back
