《Hard Times of Old England》歌词

时长： 06:35

Come all brother tradesmen that travel along[00:00:07]

O pray come and tell me where the trade is all gone[00:00:14]

Long time have I travelled and I cannot find none[00:00:21]

And sing O the hard times of Old England[00:00:28]

In Old England very hard times[00:00:35]

Provisions you buy at the shop it is true[00:00:43]

But if you've no money there's none there for you[00:00:51]

So what's a poor man and his family to do[00:00:58]

You must go to the shop and you'll ask for a job[00:01:19]

They'll answer you there with a shake and a nod[00:01:27]

Well that's enough to make a man turn out and rob[00:01:34]

You will see the poor tradesmen a walking the street[00:01:56]

From morning 'till night for employment to seek[00:02:03]

And scarce have they got any shoes on their feet[00:02:11]

Our soldiers and sailors have just come from war[00:03:08]

Been fighting for Queen and country this year[00:03:16]

Come home to be starved better stayed where they were[00:03:23]

And now to conclude and to finish my song[00:03:37]

Let us hope that these hard times they will not last long[00:03:52]

I hope soon to have occasion to alter my song[00:03:59]

And sing O the good times of Old England[00:04:12]

In Old England jolly good times[00:04:38]
