Thread Name: Lyr Req: Hard Times (C F Sussdorff)
Subject: origin lyrics: Hard Times
Hi,
I'm looking for any lyrics or info on "There's a Hard Time Coming" by C. F. Sussdorff written in 1843.
This is not the Steven Foster song and I'm not sure of the relationship to "Down on Penny's Farm."
It's been recorded by Riley Puckett and John Carson.
This is all I have on C. F. Sussdorff: C. F. Sussdorff married Louisa C. Hagen. Apparently lived in NC.
In 1851: March 12th - Mr. Sussdorff gave a magic lantern show in Salem. (1) April 30th - Mr. Sussdorff gave a magic lantern show in Raleigh. (22)
So I'm looking for the lyrics to "Hard Times" by C. F. Sussdorff or any other versions.
Richie
