I've been having some hard times all my life
I hope things change pretty soon
Hard luck and bad news has followed me from town to town
All my life my luck's been down, I'm getting so weary
I don't have one friend, folks turn their backs when I'm around
And where I walk, the grass turns brown, no one will come near me
Hard luck and bad news
Hard luck and bad news
If you were in my shoes, you'd die
My life's been lonely, I've never heard a kindly word
Ugly names is all I've heard and mean is how they treat me
Nobody trusts me, they blame me for the fires in town
Claim that hell is where I'm bound and pray that God will speed me
Hard luck and bad news
Hard luck and bad news
If you were in my shoes, you'd die
Life's not worth living, my sorrow's more than I can say
Tomorrow's just another day, I hate to see the sunrise
Yet maybe someday I'll find a man to call a friend
I'll be his friend until the end, in loneliness my heart cries
Hard luck and bad news
Hard luck and bad news
If you were in my shoes, you'd die
Hard luck and bad news
Hard luck and bad news
If you were in my shoes, you'd die
