My mother told me
Before she passed away
Said son when I'm gone
Don't forget to pray
'Cause there'll be hard times
Hard times, oh~yeah~
Who knows better than I

When I soon found out
Just what she meant
When I had to pawn my clothes
Just to pay my rent
Talkin' 'about hard times
Hard times, oh~yeah~
Who knows better than I



I had a woman
Who's always around
But when I lost my money
She put me down
Talkin' 'bout hard times
You know those,
Who knows better than I

Yeah, no, one of these days
There'll be no more sorrow
When I pass away
And no more hard times
I said no more
Yeah, who knows better than I
