Hard Station

                                  Hey Mr. Businessman 

Please take me as I am 

I'm ready to go straight 

But it's not easy 

When you don't have no money 

And if you take a chance 

I know you won't be sorry 

Hard times all around 

Hard Station in the town 



She came to me this morning 

Came to my brother's place 

Cards laid out on the table 

Tears streaming down her face 



So Mr. Businessman 

Please take me as I am 

I'm ready to go straight 

But it's not easy 

When you don't have no money 

So listen to me please 

I know you won't be sorry 

Hard times all around 

Hard Station in the town 



Round here you get downhearted 

It's more than a man can take 

Friends making propositions 

That was my first mistake 



So Mr. Businessman 

Please take me as I am 

I'm ready to go straight 

But it's not easy 

When you don't have no money 

So listen to me please 

I know you won't be sorry 

Hard times all around
