Time's a gettin' hard boys money's gettin' scarce Times don't get no better boys gonna leave this place Take my true love by her hand lead her through the town Say goodbye to everyone goodbye to everyone Had a joy a year ago had a little home Now I've got no place to go guess I'll have to roam Take my true love by her hand... Every wind that blows boys every wind that blows Carries me to some new place heaven only knows Take my true love by her hand... [ choir ] Take my true love by her hand...
