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