Lonesome Jubilee Lyrics - 1987

[ Buy Lonesome Jubilee ]

One man does his work
He
Feels like that he
His self respect starts to fall
His frustration
Runnin
On the ones he loves, because it
And who they gonna tell
And he hates that cold-bloodedness
That runs inside

Chorus:
Oh yes
It
Very very hard times
Hard times, for an honest man
Very very hard times

Sister,
She
You can see it when she walks into the room
But she
And she
Of what a brutal world can do to you
So she loves a man
He lies like a dog
Tears her little world all apart
So the walls go up
For the rest of her days
And there ain
Girls heart

Chorus:
Oh yes.
It
Very very hard times
Hard times, for an honest man
Very very hard times

So we walk
From the front porch to the back yard
Just to laugh and say hello and
Say goodbye
But some days are hard, like a
Soldier
And the rent we pay to stay here
Gets high

Chorus:
Oh yes.
It
Very very hard times
Hard times, for an honest man
Very very hard times
