《The Hard Times of Old England》歌词

[00:00:00] The Hard Times of Old England - Bob Cooper/Ron Copper

[00:00:00] Come all brother tradesmen that travel along

[00:00:06] O pray come and tell me

[00:00:09] Where the trade is all gone

[00:00:12] Long time i have traveled

[00:00:14] And I cannot find none

[00:00:17] And sing all the hard times of old England

[00:00:22] In old England very hard times

[00:00:28] Provisions you buy at the shop it is true

[00:00:34] But if you've no money

[00:00:36] There's none there for you

[00:00:40] So what's a poor man

[00:00:42] And his family to do

[00:00:44] And sing all the hard times of old England

[00:00:50] In old England very hard times

[00:00:56] If you go to the shop

[00:00:58] And you'll ask for a job

[00:01:01] They'll answer you there

[00:01:04] With a shake and a nod

[00:01:08] So that's enough to

[00:01:09] Make a man turn out and rob

[00:01:13] And it's all the hard times of old England

[00:01:19] In old England very hard times

[00:01:25] You will see the poor

[00:01:27] Tradesmen a-walkin' the street

[00:01:31] From morning to night for employment to seek

[00:01:37] And scarce have they got any shoes to their feet

[00:01:42] And it's all the hard times of old England

[00:01:48] In old England very hard times

[00:01:54] Our soldiers and sailors have just come from war

[00:02:00] They been fighting for the Queen

[00:02:02] And country this year

[00:02:06] Come home to be starved

[00:02:08] Better stay where they were

[00:02:11] And sing all the hard times of old England

[00:02:17] In old England very hard times

[00:02:23] And now to conclude

[00:02:26] And to finish my song

[00:02:29] Let us hope that these hard times

[00:02:32] They will not last long

[00:02:35] I hope soon to have occasion to alter my song

[00:02:41] And all the good times of old England

[00:02:47] In old England jolly good times
