HARD TIMES BLUES a.k.a. HARD TIME BLUES
Buddy Moss, 1933

Hard times, hard times, how long are you goin' to stay? (2x)
I'm here today. Tomorrow I may be gone away.

You keep me worried an' bothered and you 'bout to make me lose my mind. (2x)
You have caused the woman I love to go away and leave me behind.

When I was makin' money, my baby treated me like a dog. (2x)
And hard times come along and left me without a job.

I bought me a horse and wagon to stay out some wooded cove. (2x)
I done hollered so much, I done wore my tonsils so' [sore].

I haven't got one penny. The rent man is standin' at my door. (2x)
I think I'll give it up and let hard times take its own toll.
