Times Are Getting Hard Boys Lyrics

[Pre-Chorus]
Times are getting hard boys
Money's getting scarce
Times don't get no better boys
Gonna leave this place

[Chorus]
Take my true love by her hand
Lead her through the town
Say goodbye to everyone
Goodbye to everyone

[Verse 1]
Had a job a year ago
Had a little home
Now I've got no place to go
Guess I'll have to roam

[Chorus]
Take my true love by her hand
Lead her through the town
Say goodbye to everyone
Goodbye to everyone

[Verse 2]
Every wind that blows boys
Every wind that blows
Carries me to some new place
Heaven only knows
[Chorus]
Take my true love by her hand
Lead her through the town
Say goodbye to everyone
Goodbye to everyone

[Pre-Chorus]
Times are getting hard boys
Money's getting scarce
Times don't get no better boys
Gonna leave this place

[Chorus]
Take my true love by her hand
Lead her through the town
Say goodbye to everyone
Goodbye to everyone

[Outro]
Take my true love by her hand
Lead her through the town
Say goodbye to everyone
Goodbye to everyone
Say goodbye to everyone
Goodbye to everyone

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
