Hard Times Be Over
Mr baker used to be a big executive
Now he's selling apples on the corner
Paper says that things are getting
Better maybe pretty soon hard times be over
Used to be a time when
There was a dividing line
Between the pigs in mud and those in clover
Paper says thatthings are getting
Better maybe pretty soon hard times be over
I just got a lеtter from a
Fellow that I used to know
Clеaned up in the market but
The crash hit him hard
Now he’s selling papers on
A small town avenue
Had to sell his house and
Wife and even his dog
Picket lines and bread lines and "Buddy
Do you have a dime"
Even corner drunks are getting sober

I just got a letter from a
Fellow that I used to know
Cleaned up in the market but
The crash hit him hard
