We Sure Got Hard Times-Charley Lincoln/Barbecue Bob

We Sure Got Hard Times - Barbecue Bob Got a song to sing you and it's no excuse Got a song to sing you and it's no excuse And as sure as the devil I believe he's got aloose You want a drink of liquor You think it's awful nice You want a drink of liquor You think it's awful nice You put your hand in your pocket And you ain't got the price You hear about a job Now you is on your way You hear about a job Now you is on your way Twenty mens after the same job All in the same old day Hard times hard times We got hard times now Hard times hard times We sure got hard times now Just drink and think about it We got hard times now You start in mooching But your mooching been in vain You start in mooching But your mooching been in vain Be careful with yourself You'll get a ball and chain Lard and bacon Gone to a dollar a pound Lard and bacon Gone to a dollar a pound Cotton have started to selling But it keeps going down And down Just before election You was talking about how you was Going to vote Just before election You was talking about how you was Going to vote And after election was over Your head's down like a billygoat Hard times hard times We sure got hard times now Hard times hard times We got hard times now Just drink and think about it We sure got hard times now
