_ _ We'd get up [G] before sun [C] up to get [G] the work done [F] up.
We'd work in the fields till the sun had [C] gone _ down. _ _ _
We've stood and [G] we've cried [C] as we've [G] helplessly watched
[F] a hailstorm a-beating our crops [C] to the ground.
_ _ _ _ _ [F] We've gone to bed hungry [C] many nights in the past,
in the good [F] old _ _ days when [C] times were _ _ _ _ bad.
[F] None now _ _ _ from me [Bb] the memories [C] I [F] have of them,
none now _ _ _ dare me [Bb] to go back [C] and live through [F] it _ again.

_ _ _ _ I've seen [G] that his hands [C] break open [G] and bleed,
[F] and I've seen him work till he's stiff [C] and bored. _ _
_ And I've seen [G] Mama lay [C] in suffer [G] and sickness,
[F] in need of a doctor we [C] couldn't afford. _ _ _ _
_ [F] Anything was [C] more than we had in the good [F] old _ _ _ days,
when [C] times were _ bad. _
_ _ We've got [G] up before and [C] found ice [G] on the floor,
[F] where the wind would blow snow through the grass [C] and the wall. _ _ _
And I couldn't [G] enjoy [C] then having [G] a boyfriend,
[F] I had nothing decent [C] to wear at _ all.
_ _ [F] So I longed for a love [C] that I never had,
in the good [F] old _ days _ when [C] times were _ bad. _ _ _
[F] None now _ _ _ from me [Bb] the memories [C] I have [F] of them, _
none now _ _ _ dare me [Bb] to go back [C] and live through it [F] _ again.
