Hard Times (No One Knows Better Than I) — текст песни (Ray Charles)

My mother told me
Before she passed away
Said son when I`m gone
Don`t forget to pray
`Cause there`ll be hard times
Lord those hard times
Who knows better than I?

Well I soon found out
Just what she meant
When I had to pawn my clothes
Just to pay the rent
Talkin` `about hard times
Who knows better than I?

I had a woman
Who was always around
But when I lost my money
She put me down
Talkin` `bout hard times
Yeah,yeah, who knows better than I?

Lord, one of these days
There`ll be no sorrow
When I pass away
And no more hard times
Yeah, yeah, who knows better than I?
