Hard Times

Times gettin' hard in the city

I am goin' on down the road

Yes, times gettin' hard in the city

I am goin' on down the road

The worthless little money that I am makin'

I can't pull this heavy load

I woke up this mornin', somebody knockin' at my door

It was a man standin' there, told me 'bout the debts I owe

I said, "Listen here, Mister

Tell you what I'm going to do

I'm gonna give you back the things I bought here

Yes, and start out anew

I'm just sitting here thinkin', can't even take my rest

They're layin' off too many people, I know I will be next

Times gettin' hard in the city

I am goin' on down the road

Well, with this little money that I am makin'

I can't pull this heavy load
