Hard Time Blues
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm going down to the river: Just to see the water run
And to think about my troubles: And where all my money's
Gone
Times has got so hard: That I cannot find a job
And every morning: The rent man grabs on my doorknob
I'm getting so ragged: I ain't got no decent clothes
I ain't got nobody: Ain't got nowhere to go
Now I'm worried: Ain't no telling what I'm going to do
My friends don't know me: And I can't get a dime or two
Soon as hard time strike me: My baby puts me out
Now guess you know: What these hard time is all about
