    What do you say about the times?
    I say ev'ry man can't understand
    Now what do you say about the time?
    I said, when a man can't understand
    Now you can think you're gonna have good times
    Woo-well-well, then hard times again

    We wants to have a good times
    Don't look like things will be that way no mo'
    I said we wants to have a good time
    Don't look like things gon' be that way no mo'
    But now you know I believe there will be a day
    Woo-well-well, good times will come walkin' to yo' do'

    I've got to the place
    Hard times don't worry me no mo'
    I say, I've got to the place
    Hard times don't worry me no mo'
    Why? Because ev'rytime I go home
    Woo-well-well, hard times standin' in my do'

    Please now forget about the times
    Don't you worry about them no mo'
    I said, now forget about the times
    Don't you worry 'bout them no mo'
    Well now, you know you gon' keep be worried
    Well-woo-woo, you be worried ev'ry place you go


    Now, now gonna go home
    But now don't seem like I can go
    I said, now I wanna go home
    But it don't seem like I can go
    Now you know I can tell you people
    Ooo-well-well, hard times just hangin' on my do'.
