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...
[ choir ]
Take my true love by her hand...
