Hard Times of Old England Lyrics by Band Of Hope

Rhythm & Reds

0

[Verse 1]
Come all working people who travel alone
And pray tell me where the work has all gone
Long time I have travelled and never found none
And it's Oh the hard times of old England
In old England very hard times
[Verse 2]
Provisions you buy from a shop it is true
But if you've got no money there's none there for you
So what are poor folk and their families to do
And it's Oh the hard times of old England
In old England very hard times
[Verse 3]
And you go to the shop and you ask for a job
They answer you there with a shake and a nod
T'is enough to make poor folk to turn out and rob
And it's Oh the hard times of old England
In old England very hard times
[Verse 4]
You see working people a'walking the street
From morning 'til night for employment to seek
And scarcely they have any shoes to their feet
And it's Oh the hard times of old England
In old England very hard times
[Verse 5]
Soldiers and sailors have just come from war
Been fighting for Queen and country, sure
Come home to be starved better have stayed where they were
And oh it's the hard times of old England
In old England very hard times
[Verse 6]
So come all working people and stand your ground
If we all join together we can turn it around
Freedom is turning the world upside down
And sing Oh the good times of old England
In old England very good times
So come all working people and stand your ground
If we all join together we can turn it around
Freedom is turning the world upside down
And sing Oh the good times of old England
In old England very good times
