1
[Intro]
2
While we seek mirth and beauty and music light and gay,
3
There are frail forms fainting at the door.
4
Though their voices are silent, their pleading looks will say,
5
Oh, hard times, come again no more.
6
There's the song, the sigh of the weary.
7
Hard times, hard times, come again no more.
8
Many days you have lingered on around my cabin door.
9
Oh, hard times, come again no more.
10
[Verse 1]
11
He was an Odessa boy with a daddy in the money
12
he played for Mojo back in the boom
13
drove a Corvette took what he wanted from people
14
they learned to give him lots of room
15
[Chorus]
16
Well he never learned to work
17
but that never really mattered
18
because the dark crude flowed
19
the wild oats scattered
20
the dark, crude, it flowed
21
He fought, he flattered
22
and he got what he wanted
23
it was the only thing that mattered
24
[Verse 2]
25
Well life was easy and the big jacks pumped
26
pooring cash from the permian field
27
There were cabinets full of high grade scotch
28
garage, full of high speed steel
29
[Chorus]
30
[Verse 3]
31
Then he killed a girl when he rolled the Corvette
32
Daddy's money made the lawyers go away
33
his mother bought vodka with all that cash
34
she kind of knew, yeah she kind of knew
35
Well he's an old man now
36
lives on his dead Daddy's place
37
never took a wife, gunna die without a trace
38
you see he loved the girl who was pinned in the 'vette
39
he talkes to her everyday
40
her face face was blood and diamonds
41
he remembers her, that way.
42
[Chorus]
43
[Outro]
44
There's a pale droopy maiden who toiled her life away
45
With a worn heart, whose better days are o'er.
46
Though her voice it would be merry, 'tis sighin' all the day,
47
Oh, hard times, come again no more.
