Hard Times of Old England

[00:07.60] Come all working people who travel alone
[00:14.23] And pray tell me where the work has all gone
[00:20.76] Long time I have travelled and never found none
[00:27.46] And it's oh the hard times of old England
[00:33.09] In old England very hard times
[00:40.02] Provisions you buy from a shop it is true
[00:46.48] But if you've got no money, there's none there for you
[00:53.28] So what are poor folk and their families to do
[00:59.66] And it's, oh the hard times of old England
[01:05.23] In old England very hard times
[01:11.73] And you go to the shop, and you ask for a job
[01:18.54] They answer you there with a shake and a nod
[01:25.17] T'is enough to make poor folk to turn out and rob
[01:31.75] And it's, oh the hard times of old England
[01:37.69] In old England very hard times
[01:44.58] You see working people a'walking the street
[01:51.13] From morning 'til night for employment to seek
[01:57.76] And scarcely they have any shoes to their feet
[02:04.20] And it's, oh the hard times of old England
[02:10.07] In old England very hard times
[02:17.42]
[02:49.08] Soldiers and sailors have just come from war
[02:55.31] Been fighting for Queen and for country, sure
[03:01.97] Come home to be starved better have stayed where they were
[03:08.70] And it's, oh the hard times of old England
[03:14.45] In old England very hard times
[03:21.04] So come all working people and stand your ground
[03:27.65] If we all join together, we can turn it around
[03:34.57] Freedom is turning the world upside down
[03:40.77] Sing oh, the good times of old England
