There's a hardship sailing somewhere I can see it from the port And every night my one true love and I we climb aboard And the night spins little circles And we dance to that quiet song Yes we come from very different worlds But we somehow hum along Cus where there's riches There's a hardship Yes there's a pain In almost everything When you've got nothin' There's a hardship Primor lane There's a hardship just the same And I want to count my blessings But they never get too high So I always take another way up there to get me by And my lady she's got everything She was born already free Yes and she could go most anywhere But she sings down here with me Cus where there's riches There's a hardship Yes there's a pain In almost anything When you've got nothin' There's a hardship Primor lane There's a hardship just the same
