Eric Clapton — Hard Times

[Verse 1] My mother told me before she passed away Said, Son, when I'm gone, don't forget to pray Because there'll be hard times, Lord, those hard times Who knows better than I? [Verse 2] Well, I soon found out just what she meant When I had to pawn my clothes just to pay the rent Talkin' about hard times, oh those hard times Who knows better than I? [Verse 3] I had a woman who was always around But when I lost my money, she put me down Talkin' about hard times, Lord, those hard Yea yea, who knows better than I? [Verse 4] Lord, one of these days There'll be no more sorrow when I pass away And no more hard time, no more hard Yea yea, who knows better than I?
