As for "Hard Times," four verses? No sweat. The only problem I have (had) with "Hard Times" was that when I heard someone do it, I thought it was a great song and put it on the list of songs to learn. And then suddenly everywhere I went, someone was doing "Hard Times." Around here, it quickly became one of those songs that you just can't get away from, and it wasn't long before it was just worn out as far as listeners (and other singers) were concerned.

Well . . . I haven't heard it for awhile. Maybe I'll go ahead and learn it. All four verses.
