Times are 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 job 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,
Lead her through the town,
Say goodbye to everyone,

Goodbye to everyone.

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,
Lead her through the town,

Say goodbye to everyone,
Goodbye to everyone.


Times are 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.


Take my true love by her hand,
Lead her through the town,

Say goodbye to everyone,
Goodbye to everyone.


Say goodbye to everyone,
Goodbye to everyone.
