Shoo, shoo, shoo-shoo
Little man you left me flat
Now i don't know where i'm at
Hard times ahead
Took me for a good time swing
Left me only blues to sing
Hard times ahead
Hard times of grieve and woe
Hard times of moanin' low
Good times goodbye for good
You can't treat a heart like a block of wood
Wish you come on back to me
To relieve my misery
Hard times ahead
Shoo, shoo, shoo-shoo
Shoo, shoo, shoo-shoo
Hard times of grieve and woe
Hard times of moanin' low
Good times goodbye for good
You can't treat a heart like a block of wood
Little man without your love
All i've got's a future of
Hard times ahead
I got hard times ahead
Don't you know i got hard times ahead
