about

Fussin’ and fightin’ rolling out the kitchen door
go away oh hard times come again no more
times of pain and anguish, tribulations by the score
go away oh hard times come again no more
When I was just a baby settin’ on my mother’s knee
she whispered low clear in my ear and this she said to me
she said the world’s full of pain and anguish
trouble will pass your way
hard times will come along but they never stay
hard times will come along we’ll all see better days
I wish it was that way
Rats all in my cellar where there never was before
go away oh hard times come again no more

lyrics

Say it like a movie picture
sing it like a broadway play
just don’t say it like a TV commercial
baby I don’t want to feel that way
Scream it like a rock and roller
whisper like nobody knows
sell it like a five and dime store honey
the kind that doesn’t close
You were me baby
you called me boy
now you’re just a lady
and I find myself destroyed
Just like a movie picture
this story has an end
but just like a movie picture
I replay it in my head again and again yes in my head
