Lyrics
My mother told me ‘fore she passed awayWho knows better than I?Said, son, when I’m gone, don’t forget to pray ‘Cause there’ll be hard times, hard times, woah, yeah, yeahWell, I soon found out just what she meantWho knows a little better than I?When I had to pawn my clothes just to pay my rent Talkin’ ’bout hard times, hard times, woah, yeah, yeahI had a woman, Lord, who’s always aroundWho knows better than I?But when I lost my money, she put me down Talkin’ ’bout hard times, you know those hard, yeah, LordYeah, Lord, yeah, one of these daysWho knows, hey Lord, better than I?There’ll be no more sorrow when I pass away And no more hard times, I said, no more hard, yeah, Lord
