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 Lord, those hard times Who knows better than I? VERSE 2 Well I soon found out Just what she meant When I had to pawn my clothes Just to pay the rent Talkin' 'bout hard times Lord, those hard times Who knows better than I? {Sax solo/Guitar solo} VERSE 3 I had a woman Who was always around But when I lost my money She put me down Talkin' 'bout hard times Hard times Yeah, yeah, who knows better than I? Lord, one of these days There'll be no more sorrow When I pass away And no more hard times No more hard times Yeah, yeah, who knows better than I? (play single notes: )
