We Sure Got Hard Times Now

Performed by Barbecue Bob
Recorded April 18, 1930

You want a drink of liquor, you think it's awful nice
When you want a drink of liquor, and you think it's awful nice
You put your hand in your pocket
And you ain't got the price

You heard about a job, now you is on your way
Twenty men after the same job, all in the same 'ol day

Hard times, hard times, we got hard times now
Hard times, hard times, we sure got hard times now
