Talking about some hard times Now listen to me lady I grew up in a shotgun shack Drew water from a well that we dug out back Mama cook sour soup on gas stove And listen to Hank on her old radio The crack in the bow let the wind blow through While Hank sang a cause of the love sake blue Well that time was hard but we (don't) complain When you're down on your luck it'll damn sure rain It was hot in the summer Cold in the winter And we always seemed to have beans for dinner Hard times caused a lot of hunger and pain When you're down on your luck it'll damn sure rain It'll damn sure rain It was hard times Listen We have a old hound dog that slept on the floors When it (cums) the night with a torch My father We (talk) a lot of cotton and ploud on the field Rode a wagon in the town to the general store We (where) in to a treasure had us Well that time was hard but we (don't) complain When you're down on your luck it'll damn sure rain It was hot in the summer Cold in the winter And we always seemed to have beans for dinner Hard times caused a lot of hunger and pain When you're down on your luck it'll damn sure rain Oh, it will rain sometimes It was hard times I remember it will [?] Well that time was hard but we (don't) complain When you're down on your luck it'll damn sure rain It was hot in the summer Cold in the winter And we always seemed to have beans for dinner Hard times caused a lot of hunger and pain When you're down on your luck it'll damn sure rain It was hot in the summer Cold in the winter And we always seemed to have beans for dinner Hard times caused a lot of hunger and pain When you're down on your luck it'll damn sure rain Oh, hard rain It was hard times Listen Sometimes the Sun don't shine Some gets beaten by the hard times Gets hard to carry it Monologos
