Well, I really had to suffer
I've had a hard, hard way to go
Well, I really had to suffer
I've had a hard, hard way to go
I've been down and out
When the town was coming up with snow

I used to get so weary
I would cry the whole night through
I used to get so weary
I would cry the whole night through
Thinking 'bout my troubles
And the hardships I've been through

Someday, I may get lucky
Find me a place to go
Someday, I may get lucky
Find me a place to go
I tried, I tried
But it's a hard, hard way to go
