Hard Time Killing Floor Blues
(Skip James)
There? s hard times everywhere you go
Times is harder ever been before
Times is harder than they been before
Than they been before
Than they been before
And the people are driftin' by from door to door
Sad for those here, but I don't care where they go
Sad for those here, but I don't care where they go
Where they go
Where?
When you hear me singin' my old lonesome song
The times been around way too long
The times been around way too long
Way too long, way too long
The times been around way too long
Way too long?
If I ever get off this killin' floor
I'll never go down
I'll never go down
I? ll just roll along in this world
And well you thought you had money;
Well, you better be sure
Well, cause time is gonna take it
And drive you out your door
Time gonna take it
And drive you from your door
Time gonna take it
And drive you from your door
There? s hard times everywhere I go
