Martin Scorsese Best of the Blues movie - Hard Times (No One Knows Better Than I) lyrics

rate me

Song by Ray Charles<br /><br>

My mother told me <br>

'Fore she passed away <br>

Said son when I'm gone <br>

Don't forget to pray <br>

<br>

'Cause there'll be hard times <br>

Lord those hard times <br>

Who knows better than I? <br>

<br>

Well I soon found out <br>

Just what she meant <br>

When I had to pawn my clothes <br>

Just to pay the rent <br>

<br>

Talkin' 'bout hard times <br>

Lord those hard times <br>

Who knows better than I? <br>

<br>

I had a woman <br>

Who was always around <br>

But when I lost my money <br>

She put me down <br>

<br>

Talkin' 'bout hard times <br>

Hard times <br>

Yeah, yeah, who knows better than I? <br>

<br>

Lord, one of these days <br>

There'll be no more sorrow <br>

When I pass away <br>

<br>

And no more hard times <br>

No more hard times <br>

Yeah, yeah, who knows better than I?<br>

<br>
