"Hard Times"

"Hard Times"

My mother told me
'Fore she passed away
Said son when I'm gone
Don't forget to pray

'Cause there'll be hard times
Lord those hard times
Who knows better than I?

Well I soon found out
Just what she meant
When I had to pawn my clothes
Just to pay the rent

Talkin' 'bout hard times
Lord those hard times
Who knows better than I?

I had a woman
Who was always around
But when I lost my money
She put me down

Talkin' 'bout hard times
Hard times
Yeah, yeah, who knows better than I?

Lord,
One of these days
There'll be no more sorrow
When I pass away

And no more hard times
No more hard times
Yeah, yeah, who knows better than I?

"Hard Times Blues"

"Hard Times Blues"

Now it's hard time, baby, hard times everywhere I go
Hard times, baby, hard times everywhere I go
Now these people keep cryin' 'bout hard times, they comin' more and more

Now I don't even see what these poor people is going to do
Now I can't see what people, these poor people is going to do
Keep cryin' about these hard times and they coming more and more

Now I went to the factory this mornin' where I had worked ten years ago
And I went to the factory this mornin' where I had worked ten years ago
And the bossman told me that they ain't hirin' in here no more

Hard times, boy, and it's hard times everywhere I go
Hard times, boy, hard times everywhere I go
These people keep crying 'bout hard times and there's no work in here no more

Now if I was a bluebird, mama, had my trunk packed on my back
Hey if I was a bluebird, had my trunk packed on my back
I would fly away from this town, mama, and I'd swear I would never come back.

"Hard To Thrill"

"Hard To Thrill"

Hard to thrill
Nothing really moves me anymore
Hard to thrill
Nothing really moves me anymore

There is nothing you can show me
That I haven't seen before
I've got time to kill
Keeping to myself inside this room
Time to kill
Keeping to myself inside this room
Over forty years of fridays
You would give up trying too

Hard to thrill
Nothing really moves me anymore
I'm hardly thrilled
Nothing really moves me anymore

There is nothing you can show me
That I haven't seen before
Hard to thrill
Nothing really moves me anymore
Hard to thrill
Nothing really moves me anymore

"Have You Ever Loved A Woman"

"Have You Ever Loved A Woman"

Have you ever loved a woman
So much you tremble in pain?
Have you ever loved a woman
So much you tremble in pain?
And all the time you know
She bears another man's name.

But you just love that woman
So much it's a shame and a sin.
You just love that woman
So much it's a shame and a sin.
But all the time you know
She belongs to your very best friend.

Have you ever loved a woman
And you know you can't leave her alone?
Have you ever loved a woman
And you know you can't leave her alone?
Something deep inside of you
Won't let you wreck your best friend's home.

"Heads In Georgia"

"Heads In Georgia"

Well my heads in Georgia but my feet are California bound
Well my heads in Georgia but my feet is California bound
Cause that good looking woman I got wants to leave these Georgia towns

Well we ride them old freight trains rent them automobiles
For we ride them old freight trains and rent them automobiles
Cause that good looking woman is tired of these old Georgia hills

And that lonesome old highway seems to be our way no doubt
And that lonesome old highway seems to be the way no doubt
Cause that good looking woman and me, we just hanging out

Trains and airplanes is all we do, I'm running half the time just like she wants me to
Makes me no difference to me when all is said and done, headed west toward the setting sun

Well my heads in Georgia but my feet is California bound
Cause that good looking woman I got wants to leave these Georgia towns

Well my heads in Georgia but my feet is California bound
Well my heads in Georgia but my feet is California bound
Cause that good looking I got wants to leave these Georgia towns

Cause that good looking woman I got wants to leave these Georgia towns
Good looking woman I got wants to leave these Georgia towns

"Heaven Is One Step Away"

"Heaven Is One Step Away"

We searched all through the night.
I couldn't find it; you couldn't find it.
I knew something wasn't right.
I couldn't find it; you couldn't find it.

[Chorus:]
And they say heaven is one step away.
Heaven is one step away.

And then there came the dawn:
I couldn't find it; you couldn't find it.
I just had to carry on.
I couldn't find it; you couldn't find it.

[Chorus]

We didn't leave till a quarter to three.
All your friends, they were laughing at me.
I don't get it, I don't understand;
Who is that man holding your hand?

[Repeat First Verse]

[Chorus]

Heaven is one step away.
Heaven is one step away.
Heaven is one step away.
Heaven is one step away.

"Hellhound On My Trail"

"Hellhound On My Trail"

I got to keep moving, I got to keep moving
Blues falling down like hail, blues falling down like hail
Mmm, blues falling down like hail, blues falling down like hail
And the day keeps on remindin' me, there's a hellhound on my trail
Hellhound on my trail, hellhound on my trail

If today was Christmas eve, if today was Christmas eve
And tomorrow was Christmas day
If today was Christmas eve and tomorrow was Christmas day
All I would need is my little sweet rider
Just to pass the time away, to pass the time away

You sprinkled hot foot powder, mmm, around my door
All around my door
You sprinkled hot foot powder, all around your daddy's door
It keeps me with ramblin' mind rider
Every old place I go, every old place I go

I can tell the wind is risin', the leaves tremblin' on the tree
Tremblin' on the tree
I can tell the wind is risin', leaves tremblin' on the tree
All I need is my little sweet woman
And to keep my company, hey, hey, hey, hey, my company

"Hello Old Friend"

"Hello Old Friend"

As I am strolling down the garden path,
I saw a flower glowing in the dark.
It looked so pretty and it was unique;
I had to bend down just to have a peek.

[Chorus:]
Hello old friend,
It's really good to see you once again.
Hello old friend,
It's really good to see you once again.

I saw you walking underneath the stars;
I couldn't stop 'cause I was in a car.
I'm sure the distance wouldn't be too far
If I got out and walked to where you are.

[Chorus]

An old man passed me on the street today;
I thought I knew him but I couldn't say.
I stopped to think if I could place his frame.
When he tipped his hat I knew his name.

[Chorus 2x]

"Help Me Up"
(with Will Jennings)

"Help Me Up"
(with Will Jennings)

Are you going to help me or will you let me down?
I'm looking for a true love but am I lost or found?
And will we cry in passion or will we cry in pain?
And will our lonely teardrops fill the world with rain?

[Chorus:]
Help me up, don't you let me down.
I'm gonna wake up in heaven, not the cold, cold ground.

Can't you hear the lovers crying in the night?
They spend their whole lives trying; still can't get it right.
I don't know where we're going but I guess we'll start
And just to show that I mean it, baby here's my heart.

[Chorus]

Living on my feelings, feelings all I know.
Baby once we touch it, we'll never let it go.

[Repeat First Verse]

[Chorus 2x]
