Bad times, something's wrong Money's gone, I'm on my own Can't stay, there's nothing here It's been a hard, hard year
First month, snows came Put me in bed, couldn't work the same Job's gone, bills are here Been a hard, hard year
I look on the bad side of life I lose heart then I want to die So I've got to get back on my feet And prove to myself I'm a man
I hope that the bad times are gone It's been work, but I think that I've won Now I'm happy And I'll never be that way again No, I'll never be that way again
Snow's gone, spring's here Won't happen twice, I've seen my way clear Everyone's paid, got no one to fear Been a hard, hard year
