Auxiris--after submitting those mournful verses you say "Cheers"? Am I right in suspecting that you wrote the verses? In the verses commonly attributed to Foster, the "hard times" are in the past and will, the singer hopes, stay there. Yours are fine verses, though, and Wyo, I'll be happy to accompany your singing them when you show up at the Swong Circle next month.
