I walk down these tracks in the pouring rain (yeah)
Looking for a way to ease this heavy pain
Cold wind biting right through my bones
Just another traveler walking
all alone
Hard times blues,
won't you let me be
(let me be) Unchain my heart and set my spirit free
Yeah, these
hard times blues
have got a hold on me
My shoes are torn and my pockets are dry
(hmmmmm) Too tired to fight,
too proud to cry
But I keep on moving,
step by heavy step
Remembering every promise that I kept
Hard times blues, won't you let me be (oh,
set me free) Unchain
my heart and set my spirit free
Yeah, these hard times blues
have got a hold on me
Yeah, they got a hold
on me (mmm-hmm)
Down on these tracks
In the pouring rain
