Hard Times (No One Knows Better Than I)
Ray Charles
My mother told me before 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’ ’about hard times hard times - - - Who knows better than I? I had a woman Lord who was always around But when I lost my money she put me down. Talkin’ ’bout hard times you know those hard times - - - Yeah Lord who knows better than I? Lord one of these days there’ll be no sorrow When I pass away And no more hard times Yeah yeah who knows better than I? Yeah Lord who knows better than I?
