Текст песни Hard Times - John Lee Hooker

Don't you know hard times
Can't you see hard times are here to stay
You know hard times, hard times
Seem like they here to stay
Hard times, hard times
Oh boy don't you know it's worrying me
I ain't go no shoes on my feet
You know my clothes is very thin
I ain't got no shoes on my feet
You know my clothes I wear is very thin
But don't get a job, put it soon
I don't know what I'm going to do
Hard times, hard times
Oh boys get me down
Don't you know hard times, hard times
Oh boys just get me down
I ain't got no shoes on my feet
Can't you see my clothes very thin
(Yes sir)
My little children cry for mercy
They got no food on the table
Children crying for my sake
They ain't got no food on my table
If thing going to change ain't going to don't change
Oh boy something I got to do is, I know it's wrong
(Yes sir)

(Yes sir)

(Yes sir)

My little children crying for mercy
Oh boys I don't know what I'm going to do
My children crying for mercy
Oh boys I don't know what I'm going to do
Hard times, hard times
Oh boy, just about to wreck my life
I wonder why do these things happen to me this way
(Yes sir)
I wonder why, I wonder why
Do these things happen to me this way
Hard times, hard times, hard times
Oh boy seem like they here to stay
