Hard Times Lyrics - Blue Plate Special - David Clayton-thomas

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, hard times, oh yeah 

Who knows better than I? 

Well, I soon found out, just what she meant 

When I had to pawn my clothes, just to pay my rent 

Talkin' 'bout hard times, hard times, oh yeah 

Who knows [Incomprehensible] better than I? 

I had a woman, Lord, who was always around 

But when I lost my money, then she put me down 

Talkin' 'bout hard times, you know those hard 

Yeah Lord, who knows better than I? 

Yeah Lord, yeah, one of these days 

There'll be no more sorrow, when I pass away 

And no more hard times, I said no more hard 

Yeah Lord, who knows, yeah Lord, better than I?
