lirik lagu mavis staples - hard times
[verse 1]
there was a camptown man, he used to plow and sing
and he loved his mule and the mule loved him
when the day got long, as it does about now
i’d hear him singing to his mule and cow
[chorus]
singing, “come on, my sweet old girl and i’ll bet the whole wide world
that we’re gonna make it yet to the end of the row”
singing, “hard times ain’t gonna rule my mind
hard times ain’t gonna rule my mind, bessie
hard times ain’t gonna rule my mind no more”
[verse 2]
said it’s a mean old world, heavy in need
and that big machine, it just keep picking up speed
we’re supping on tears and we’re supping on wine
we’ll all get to heaven in our own sweet time
[chorus]
so come all you asheville boys and turn up your old~time noise
and kick till the dust comes up from the cracks in the floor
singing, “hard times ain’t gonna rule my mind, brother
hard times ain’t gonna rule my mind
hard times ain’t gonna rule my mind no more”
[verse 3]
but the camptown man, he doesn’t plow no more
i saw him walking down to the cigarette store
guess he lost that knack and forgot that song
woke up this morning and the mule was gone
[chorus]
so come all you ragtime kings and come on, you dogs, and sing
and pick up a dusty old h~rn and give it a blow
playing, “hard times ain’t gonna rule my mind, honey
hard times ain’t gonna rule my mind, sugar
hard times ain’t gonna rule my mind no more”
