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

And no more hard times
