Hard Time Killing Floor
Skip James, as performed by Buddy Guy

Hard times are here
And everywhere you go

Times are harder
Than they ever been before

Um, hm-hm
Um-hm

E (2)
You know that people are driftin’
from door to door
A (2)
But they can't find no heaven
I don't care where they go
Chorus
E (2)
People, if I ever can get up off
this hard killing floor
A (2)
Lord, I'll never get down
Down this low no more
Chorus
E (2)
Well, you hear me singin' this song
Old lonesome song
A (2)
People, you know these hard times
Can't last us so long
Chorus x2
End on E
