My mother told me before she passed away,
|
Said, "Son, when I'm gone, don't forget to pray
|
'Cause there'll be hard times, Lord those hard times -
|
Who knows better than I?"
|
|
Well I soon found out just what she meant
|
When I had to pawn my clothes just to pay the rent;
|
Talkin' 'about hard times, hard times
|
Who knows better than I?
|
|
I had a woman, Lord, who was always around,
|
But when I lost my money, she put me down.
|
Talkin' 'bout hard times, you know those hard times,
|
Yeah, Lord, who knows better than I?
|
|
Lord, one of these days, there'll be no sorrow
|
When I pass away,
|
And no more hard times,
|
Yeah, yeah, who knows better than I?
|
Yeah, Lord, who knows better than I?
|
