Hard Times Lyrics by Sluice

Cardinals at the Window

2024

[Verse 1]
There was a camp town man
Who used to plow and sing
He loved that mule and the mule loved him
And the days got long
As it does about now
I'd hear him singin' to his mule and cow
[Pre-Chorus]
Come on my sweet old girl
I'll bet the whole damn world
[Chorus]
We're gonna make it yet, 'til the end of the road
Singin' hard times ain't gonna rule my mind
Singin' hard times ain't gonna rule my mind
They say hard times ain't gonna rule my mind
No more
[Verse 2]
Said it's a mean 'ol world
Heavy and mean
That big machine is justa pickin' up speed
And we're sippin' on tea
And we're sippin' on wine
Wе'll get to heaven in our own sweet timе
[Chorus]
So come on you Asheville boys
Turn up your old time noise
Kick 'til the dust comes up from the cracks in the floor
Singin' hard times ain't gonna rule my mind
Singin' hard times ain't gonna rule my mind
Hard times ain't gonna rule my mind
No more
[Verse 3]
But the camp town man doesn't plow no more
I seen him walking down to the cigarette store
Guess he lost that knack, and he forgot that song
Woke up one morning and the mule was gone
[Chorus]
So come on you ragtime kings
And come on you dogs and sing
And pick up a dusty ol' horn and give it a blow
Playin' hard times ain't gonna rule my mind honey
Hard times ain't gonna rule my mind
Hard times ain't gonna rule my mind
No more
