lirik lagu roger welsch - hard, hard times
[verse 1]
come listen awhile i’ll sing you a song
concerning the times~it will not be long
when everybody is striving to buy
and cheating each other, i cannot tell why
[chorus]
and it’s hard, hard times
[verse 2]
from father to mother, from sister and brother
from cousin to cousin, they’re cheating each other;
since cheating has grown to be the fashion
i believe to my soul it will ruin this nation
[chorus]
and it’s hard, hard times
[verse 3]
now there is the talker; by talking he eats
and so does the butcher by k!lling his meats;
he’ll toss the steelyard and weigh it right down
and swear it’s just right if it lacks forty pounds
[chorus]
and it’s hard, hard times
[verse 4]
and there is the merchant, as honest, we’re told;
whatever he sells you, my friend, you are sold
believe what i tell you and don’t be surprised
if you find yourself cheated half out of your eyes
[chorus]
and it’s hard, hard times
[verse 5]
and there is the lawyer, you plainly will see
he’ll plead your case for a very large fee;
he’ll law you and tell you the wrong side is right
and make you believe that a black horse is white
[chorus]
and it’s hard, hard times
[verse 6]
and there is the doctor, i like to forgot
i believe to my soul, he’s the worst of the lot!
he’ll tell you he’ll cure you for half you possess
and when you are buried, he’ll take all the rest
[chorus]
and it’s hard, hard times
[verse 7]
and there’s the old bachelor, all hated with scorn;
he’s like the old garment all tattered and torn;
the girls and the widows all toss him a sigh
and think it’s quite right, and so do i
[chorus]
and it’s hard, hard times
[verse 8]
and there’s the young widow, coquettish and shy
with a smile on her lips, a tear in her eye;
but when she gets married, she’ll cut quite a dash;
she’ll give him the reins; she’ll handle the cash
[chorus]
and it’s hard, hard times
[verse 9]
and there’s the young lady, i like to have missed;
i believe to my soul she’d like to be kissed
she’ll tell you she loves you with all pretense
and ask you to call again~sometime hence
[chorus]
and it’s hard, hard times
[verse 10]
and there’s the young man, the worst of the whole;
he’ll tell you he loves you with all of his soul
he’ll tell you he loves you, for you he will die
and when he’s away, he’ll swear it’s a lie
