[00:00:00] Hard Time Blues (艰难时刻) - Josh White/Ella Fitzgerald (埃拉·菲茨杰拉德)/Dizzy Gillespie (迪兹·吉莱斯皮)

[00:00:10] Well I went down home 'bout a year ago

[00:00:18] Things so bad Lord my heart was sore

[00:00:25] Folks had nothin' was a sin an' a shame

[00:00:30] Ev'rybody said hard times was to blame

[00:00:32] Great God almighty folks feelin' bad

[00:00:34] Lost ev'rything they ever had

[00:00:36] Great God almighty folks feelin' bad

[00:00:38] Lost ev'rything they ever had

[00:00:42] They had skinny looking children bellies pokin' out

[00:00:48] That old pellagra without a doubt

[00:00:55] Old folk hangin' 'round the cabin door

[00:01:01] Ain't seen times this hard before

[00:01:02] Great God almighty folks feelin' bad

[00:01:04] Lost ev'rything they ever had

[00:01:06] Great God almighty folks feelin' bad

[00:01:07] Lost ev'rything they ever had

[00:01:11] Now the sun was a shinin' fourteen days and no rain

[00:01:17] Hoein' and plantin' was all in vain

[00:01:23] They had hard hard times Lord all around

[00:01:32] Meal barrel's empty crops burned to the ground

[00:01:34] Great God almighty folks feelin' bad

[00:01:36] Lost ev'rything they ever had

[00:01:37] Great God almighty folks feelin' bad

[00:01:42] Then I went to the boss at the commissary store

[00:01:47] Folks all sobbin' please don't close your door

[00:01:53] We want more food and a little more time to pay

[00:02:02] Boss man laughed and walked away

[00:02:04] Great God almighty folks feelin' bad

[00:02:05] Lost ev'rything they ever had

[00:02:07] Great God almighty folks feelin' bad

[00:02:09] Lost ev'rything they ever had

[00:02:12] Now your landlord comes around when your rent is due

[00:02:18] And if you ain't got his money take your home from you

[00:02:25] He'll take your mule and horse even take your cow

[00:02:33] Says get off of my land you're no good no how

[00:02:37] Great God almighty folks feelin' bad

[00:02:41] Lost ev'rything they ever had

[00:02:45] Great God almighty folks feelin' bad

[00:02:48] Lost ev'rything they ever had
