C F
Come all brother tradesmen that travel alone,
F F F C
O, pray come and tell me where the trade is all gone,
C F C
Long time I have travelled and cannot find none,
F C
And it's O, the hard times of old England,
F F C
In old England very hard times.
C F
Provisions you buy at the shop it is true,
F F F C
But if you've no money there's none there for you.
C F C
So what's a poor man and his family to do?
F C
And it's O, the hard times of old England,
F F C
In old England very hard times.
C F
If you go to a shop and you ask for a job
F F F F
They will answer you there with a shake and a nod.
C F C
That's enough to make a poor man to turn out and rob,
F C
And it's O, the hard times of old England,
F F C
In old England very hard times.
C F
You will see the poor tradesmen a-walking the street
F F F C
From morning till night for employment to seek.
C F C
And scarcely they have any shoes to their feet,
F C
And it's O, the hard times of old England,
F F C
In old England very hard times.
C F
Our soldiers and sailors have just come from war,
F F F C
Been fighting for King and their country this year,
C F C
Come home to be starved better have stayed where they were,
F C
And it's O, the hard times of old England,
F F C
In old England very hard times.
C F
So now to conclude and to finish my song
F F F C
Let us hope that these hard times they will not last long.
C F C
And I may soon have occasion to alter my song,
F C
And sing O, the good times of old England,
F F C
In old England jolly times.
F C
And sing O, the good times of old England,
F F C
In old England jolly times.
