hard times blues

Eric Clapton

Now it s hard time, baby, hard times everywhere I go
Hard times, baby, hard times everywhere I go
Now these people keep cryin bout hard times
they comin more and more

Now I don t even see what these poor people is going to do
Now I can t see what people
these poor people is going to do
Keep cryin about these hard times
and they coming more and more

Now I went to the factory this mornin
where I had worked ten years ago
And I went to the factory this mornin
where I had worked ten years ago
And the bossman told me
that they ain t hirin in here no more

Hard times, boy, and it s hard times everywhere I go
Hard times, boy, hard times everywhere I go
These people keep crying bout hard times
and there s no work in here no more

Now if I was a bluebird, mama
had my trunk packed on my back
Hey if I was a bluebird, had my trunk packed on my back
I would fly away from this town, mama
and I d swear I would never come back
