My mother told me before 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; Talkin´ ´about hard times, hard times Who knows better than I?
I had a woman, Lord, who was always around, But when I lost my money, she put me down. Talkin´ ´bout hard times, you know those hard times, Yeah, Lord, who knows better than I?
Lord, one of these days, there´ll be no sorrow When I pass away, And no more hard times, Yeah, yeah, who knows better than I? Yeah, Lord, who knows better than I? |
