Hard Times lyrics

My mother told me 'fore she passed away Said girl, when I'm gone don't forget to pray 'Cause there'll be hard times Hard times Oh yeah, and 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' about hard times Hard times Yeah, yeah, and who knows better than I I had a man, Lord, who was always around But when I lost my money and he put me down Talkin' about 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 know better, Lord Better than I
