Hard Times lyrics
by Big Mama Thornton
[Verse 1]
Times gettin' hard in the city
I am goin' on down the road
Yes, times gettin' hard in the city
I am goin' on down the road
The worthless little money that I am makin'
I can't pull this heavy load
[Verse 2]
I woke up this mornin', somebody knockin' at my door
It was a man standin' there, told me 'bout the debts I owe
I said, "Listen here, Mister
Tell you what I'm going to do
I'm gonna give you back the things I bought here
Yes, and start out anew
[Verse 3]
I'm just sitting here thinkin', can't even take my rest
They're layin' off too many people, I know I will be next
Times gettin' hard in the city
I am goin' on down the road
Well, with this little money that I am makin'
I can't pull this heavy load
