Nehemiah Curtis "Skip" James
recording of 19
from
Today! (Vanguard 79219)
& Origin Of Jazz Library No. 5 & Melodeon 7321,
Hard time here and everywhere you go
Times is harder than ever been before
And the people are driftin' from door to door
Can't find no heaven, I don't care where they go
Hear me tell you people, just before I go
These hard times will kill you just
dry long so
Well, you hear me singin' my lonesome song
These hard times can last us so very long
If I ever get off this
killin' floor
I'll never get down this low no more
No-no, no-no, I'll never get down this low no more
And you say you had money, you better be sure
'Cause these hard times will drive you from door to door
Sing this song and I ain't gonna sing no more
Sing this song and I ain't gonna sing no more
These hard times will drive you from door to door

Note 1: "Hard time Killing Floor Blues" is the title of the original Paramount recording of James's topical Depression piece, which he called by the more serviceable title "Hard Times".
