Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Times are getting hard, boys
Money's getting scarce
Times don't get no better, boys
Gonna leave this place
[Verse 2]
Take my true love by her hand
Lead her through the town
Say goodbye to everyone
Goodbye to everyone
[Verse 3]
Had a job a year ago
Had a little home
Now I've got no place to go
Guess I'll have to roam
[Verse 4]
Take my true love by her hand
Lead her through the town
Say goodbye to everyone
Goodbye to everyone
[Verse 5]
Every wind that blows, boys
Every wind that blows
Carries me to some new place
Heaven only knows
[Verse 6]
Take my true love by her hand
Lead her through the town
Say goodbye to everyone
Goodbye to everyone
[Verse 7]
Times are getting hard, boys
Money's getting scarce
Times don't get no better, boys
Gonna leave this place
[Verse 8]
Take my true love by her hand
Lead her through the town
Say goodbye to everyone
Goodbye to everyone
[Verse 9]
Take my true love by her hand
Lead her through the town
Say goodbye to everyone
Goodbye to everyone
Say goodbye to everyone
Goodbye to everyone
