Hard times are here and everywhere you go
Times are harder than ever been before
People are driftin' from door to door
Can't find no heaven, I don't care where they go

You say you got money well you better be sure
These hard times will kill you dead and there ain't no cure
If I can get up off of this hard time killin' floor
Lord, I'll never get down that low no more

Hard times are here and everywhere you go
Times are harder than ever been before
These hard times will drive you from door to door
Sing this song, I ain't gonna sing no more
Sing this song, I ain't gonna sing no more
Sing this song, I ain't gonna sing no more
