Hard Times Be Over lyrics

Mr. Baker used to be a big executive Now he's selling apples on the corner Paper says that things are getting better Maybe pretty soon Hard times be over Used to be a time when there was a dividing line Between the pigs in mud and those in clover Paper says that things are getting better Maybe pretty soon Hard times be over I just got a letter from a fella that I used to know Cleaned up in the market but the crash hit him hard Now he's selling papers on a small town avenue Had to sell his house and wife and even his dog Picket lines and bread lines and buddy, do you have a dime? Even corner drunks are getting sober Paper says that things are getting better Maybe pretty soon Hard times be over I just got a letter from a fella that I used to know Cleaned up in the market but the crash hit him hard Now he's selling papers on a small town avenue Had to sell his house and wife and even his dog Picket lines and bread lines and buddy, do you have a dime? Even corner drunks are getting sober Paper says that things are getting better Maybe pretty soon Hard times be over Paper says that things are getting better Maybe pretty soon Hard times be over
