Scrapper Blackwell — Hard Time Blues lyrics

Lyrics

I’m going down to the river: just to see the water run
And to think about my troubles: and where all my money’s
gone
Times has got so hard: that I cannot find a job
And every morning: the rent man grabs on my doorknob
I’m getting so ragged: I ain’t got no decent clothes
I ain’t got nobody: ain’t got nowhere to go Now I’m worried: ain’t no telling what I’m going to do My friends don’t know me: and I can’t get a dime or two
Soon as hard time strike me: my baby puts me out
Now guess you know: what these hard time is all about
