Ray Charles - Hard Times No One Knows lyrics

My mother told me 'fore she pa**ed away Said, "Son, when I'm gone, don't forget to pray 'Cause there'll be hard times, hard times, woah, yeah, yeah Who knows better than I? Well, I soon found out just what she meant When I had to pawn my clothes just to pay my rent Talkin' 'about hard times, hard times, woah, yeah, yeah Who knows a little better than I? I had a woman, Lord, who's always around But when I lost my money, she put me down Talkin' 'bout hard times, you know those hard, yeah, Lord Who knows better than I? Yeah, Lord, yeah, Lord, one of these days There'll be no more sorrow when I pa** away And no more hard times, I said, no more hard, yeah, Lord Who knows, yeah, Lord, better than I?
