Hard Times

Well, you know the boss was a good man

But kindness on its own don't pay

"You can figure you're part of the cut-back"

Was all that he could say.

Hard times, well, they sure do hit hard times.

Well, the dollar you got in your pocket

It ain't worth a dime when you got it - hard times.

It's a messy situation

Keeping the wolf from the door

How can I stay solvent

When they're hounding me for more?

Hard times, well, they sure do hit hard times.

Well, the dollar you got in your pocket

Ain't worth a dime when you got it - hard times.

Well, the Government's got advisors,

And they're sitting on Capitol Hill.

They're balancing the budget,

But they still can't pay the bills

Hard times, well, they sure do hit hard times.

Well, the dollar you got in your pocket

It ain't worth a dime when you got it – hard times

Hard times,  You're down on your luck.
