Hard Time Blues

Lyrics

My man said he didn't want me
 I'm getting tired of his dirty ways
 I'm going to see another brown
 I'm packin' my clothes
 I'm leavin' town, getting outdoors
 Lettin' him know and he'll see a hard time
 Now there's no need of cryin'
 Just put me off your mind
 Then you'll see a hard time
 When your good woman is gone you'll see a hard time
 (Don't say a word, just listen)
 The risin' sun ain't gonna set in the east no more
 ♪
 The risin' sun ain't gonna set in the east no more
 ♪
 'Cause I'm a good woman, I can get a man any place I go
 ♪
 You can say what you please, you will miss me
 There's a lotsa things you are bound to see
 When your friends forsake you and your money's gone
 Then you'll look around all your clothes is gone
 Down on your knees, you'll ask for me
 There's no one else you will want to see
 Then you'll pray a prayer that men pray everywhere, Lord
 When your good woman is gone
 When your good woman is gone
