Hard Times Lyrics - Journeyman - Eric Clapton

(by Ray Charles) 

My mother told me 

'Fore 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

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

Talkin' 'bout hard times 

Lord those hard times 

Who knows better than I? 

I had a woman 

Who was always around 

But when I lost my money 

She put me down 

Talkin' 'bout hard times 

Hard times 

Yeah, yeah, who knows better than I?

Lord, one of these days 

There'll be no more sorrow 

When I pass away 

And no more hard times 

No more hard times 

Yeah, yeah, who knows better than I?
