Hard Times Blues Songtext
von Ida Cox

I never seen such a real hard times before
I never seen such a real hard times before
The wolf keeps walkin′ all 'round my door

They howl all night and they moan till the break of day
They howl all night and they moan till the break of day
They seem to know my good man′s gone away


I can't go outside to my grocery store
I can't go outside to my grocery store
I ain′t got no money and my credit don′t go no more

Won't somebody please try and find my man for me
Won′t you please try and find my man for me
Tell him I'm broke and hungry, lonely as I can be

If he didn′t like my potatoes, why did he dig so deep
If he didn't like my potatoes, why did he dig so deep
In his mama′s potatoe patch, five and ten times a week?
