Time's a gettin' hard boys money's gettin' scarce
Times don't get no better boys gonna leave this place


Take my true love by her hand lead her through the town
Say goodbye to everyone
goodbye to everyone


Had a joy a year ago had a little home
Now I've got no place to go guess I'll have to roam


Take my true love by her hand


Every wind that blows boys every wind that blows
Carries me to some new place heaven only knows
Take my true love by her hand


Take my true love by her hand
