Charles, Ray - Hard Times (No One Knows Better Than I) Lyrics
My mother told me before she passed away,
Said, "Son, when I'm gone, don't forget to pray
'Cause there'll be hard times, Lord those hard times -
Who knows better than I?"
When I had to pawn my clothes just to pay the rent;
Talkin' 'about hard times, hard times
Who knows better than I?
I had a woman, Lord, who was always around,
But when I lost my money, she put me down.
Talkin' 'bout hard times, you know those hard times,
Yeah, Lord, who knows better than I?
Lord, one of these days, there'll be no sorrow
And no more hard times,
Yeah, yeah, who knows better than I?
Yeah, Lord, who knows better than I?

My mother told me
'Fore she passed away
Said son when I'm gone
Don't forget to pray
'Cause there'll be hard times
Lord those hard times
Who knows better than I?
Well I soon found out
Just what she meant
When I had to pawn my clothes
Just to pay the rent
Talkin' 'bout hard times
Lord those hard times
Who knows better than I?
I had a woman
Who was always around
But when I lost my money
She put me down
Talkin' 'bout hard times
Hard times
Yeah, yeah, who knows better than I?
Lord, one of these days
There'll be no more sorrow
When I pass away
And no more hard times
No more hard times
Yeah, yeah, who knows better than I?

I've checked and wasn't blown away. Not at all.
A replica of the cover posted: the font is different, and the trademark pinwheel logo is omitted.
the current state of the world can be summed up as follows: justin beiber's latest single: over 2 million hits, this tune: 1, 642 hits.
no it's worse than that
My favorite Ray song. Thanks for uploading all of these!
