Time's A Gettin' Hard

(Red Hayes)

Time's a gettin' hard boys
Money's gettin' scarce
Times don't get no better boys
Gonna leave this place.

Take my true love by her hand
Lead her through the town
Say goodbye to everyone
Goodbye to everyone.

Had a joy a year ago
Had a little home
Now I've got no place to go
Guess I'll have to roam.

Take my true love by her hand
Lead her through the town
Say goodbye to everyone
Goodbye to everyone.

Every wind that blows boys
Every wind that blows
Carries me to some new place
Heaven only knows.

Take my true love by her hand
Lead her through the town
Say goodbye to everyone
Goodbye to everyone.

Take my true love by her hand
Lead her through the town
Say goodbye to everyone
Goodbye to everyone...
