Hard Times (No One Knows Better Than I) (Remastered Version) - Ray Charles

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

Hard times ohyeah

Who knows better than I

When I soon found out

Just what she meant

When I had to pawn my clothes

Just to pay my rent

Talkin' 'about hard times

Hard times ohyeah

Who knows better than I

I had a woman

Who's always around

But when I lost my money

She put me down

Talkin' 'bout hard times

You know those

Who knows better than I

Yeah no one of these days

There'll be no more sorrow

When I pass away

And no more hard times

I said no more

Yeah who knows better than I
