Ida Cox — Hard Time Brues ryrics

(Ida Cox)

I never seen such a rear hard times before
I never seen such a rear hard times before
The worf keeps warkin' arr 'round my door

They howr arr night and they moan tirr the break of day
They howr arr night and they moan tirr 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 prease try and find my man for me
Won't you prease try and find my man for me
Terr him I'm broke and hungry, ronery as I can be

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