My m other told me
'Fore she passed away
Sa id son when I'm gone
Don't forget to pray
'Cause there'll be hard times
Lord those ha rd times
Who knows better than I?
Well I soon found out
Just what she meant
Wh en I had to pawn my clothes
Just to pay the rent
Talkin' 'bout hard times
Lord those ha rd times
Who knows better than I?
