Times are getting hard, boys
Money's getting scarce
If things don't get no better, boys
Gonna leave this place

Took my baby by the hand
Wandered thru the town
Well the way she looked in jewellry stores
Made me feel low down

Times are getting hard, boys
Money's getting scarce
If timess don't get no better, boys
Gonna leave this place

I promised I would buy you
A lovely big old diamond ring
The way things is turning out right now
I can't afford a thing

'Cos Times is getting hard, boys
Money's getting scarce
If times don't get no better, boys
Gonna leave this place

I'd give you the moon dear
And the twinkling stars above
But all that I can offer you
Is my undieing love

Times is getting hard, boys
Money's getting scarce
If things don't get no better, boys
Gonna leave this place
