hard times - harry whitehead (words), harry boardman (tune) lyrics

Loading...

you munnut come agen hard times
we thowt thoos days were done
when th’ dust lay thick i‘ jinny gate, where th’ wheels no longer run;
when th yed stocks stood like silent ghosts and th’ straps and ropes were still
where o’ abeawt ‘em seemed to say, ‘theres nowt to do in th’ mill

yoh munnut come agen hard times
tor owdham’s had its share
when th’ purse were thin, and times were bad
and ther’ weren’t mich to spare;
when n0b’dy axed, or seemed to care
heaw were its troubles met?
thoose wounds lie deep, the scars remain
the folk remember yet

yoh munnut come to haunt these streets
where once yoh left your mark;
where care and want together walked
wi’ thousands eawt o’ wark;
where daycent men, fro’ daycent whoms
wi’ brocken heart and soul
went trudgin’ deawn that hopeless road
to th’ means test and the dole
