Hard Time Blues (艰难时刻) - Josh White/Ella Fitzgerald (埃拉·菲茨杰拉德)/Dizzy Gillespie (迪兹·吉莱斯皮)[00:00:00]

Well I went down home 'bout a year ago[00:00:10]

Things so bad Lord my heart was sore[00:00:18]

Folks had nothin' was a sin an' a shame[00:00:25]

Ev'rybody said hard times was to blame[00:00:30]

Great God almighty folks feelin' bad[00:00:32]

Lost ev'rything they ever had[00:00:34]

Great God almighty folks feelin' bad[00:00:36]

Lost ev'rything they ever had[00:00:38]

They had skinny looking children bellies pokin' out[00:00:42]

That old pellagra without a doubt[00:00:48]

Old folk hangin' 'round the cabin door[00:00:55]

Ain't seen times this hard before[00:01:01]

Great God almighty folks feelin' bad[00:01:02]

Lost ev'rything they ever had[00:01:04]

Great God almighty folks feelin' bad[00:01:06]

Lost ev'rything they ever had[00:01:07]

Now the sun was a shinin' fourteen days and no rain[00:01:11]

Hoein' and plantin' was all in vain[00:01:17]

They had hard hard times Lord all around[00:01:23]

Meal barrel's empty crops burned to the ground[00:01:32]

Great God almighty folks feelin' bad[00:01:34]

Lost ev'rything they ever had[00:01:36]

Great God almighty folks feelin' bad[00:01:37]

Lost ev'rything they ever had[00:01:39]

Then I went to the boss at the commissary store[00:01:42]

Folks all sobbin' please don't close your door[00:01:47]

We want more food and a little more time to pay[00:01:53]

Boss man laughed and walked away[00:02:02]

Great God almighty folks feelin' bad[00:02:04]

Lost ev'rything they ever had[00:02:05]

Great God almighty folks feelin' bad[00:02:07]

Lost ev'rything they ever had[00:02:09]

Now your landlord comes around when your rent is due[00:02:12]

And if you ain't got his money take your home from you[00:02:18]

He'll take your mule and horse even take your cow[00:02:25]

Says get off of my land you're no good no how[00:02:33]

Great God almighty folks feelin' bad[00:02:37]

Lost ev'rything they ever had[00:02:41]

Great God almighty folks feelin' bad[00:02:45]

Lost ev'rything they ever had[00:02:48]
