Hard Times (No One Knows Better Than I) - Ray Charles
My mother told me
Before she passed away
Said son when I'm gone
Don't forget to pray
'Cause there'll be hard times
Hard times ohyeah
Who knows better than I
When I soon found out
Just what she meant
When I had to pawn my clothes
Just to pay my rent
Talkin' 'about hard times
Hard times ohyeah
Who knows better than I
I had a woman
Who's always around
But when I lost my money
She put me down
Talkin' 'bout hard times
You know those
Who knows better than I
Yeah no one of these days
There'll be no more sorrow
When I pass away
And no more hard times
I said no more
Yeah who knows better than I
