I never seen such a real hard times before I never seen such a real hard times before The wolf keeps walkin' all 'round my door They howl all night and they moan till the break of day They howl all night and they moan till the break of day They seem to know my good man's gone away I can't go outside to my grocery store I can't go outside to my grocery store I ain't got no money and my credit don't go no more Won't somebody please try and find my man for me Won't you please try and find my man for me Tell him I'm broke and hungry, lonely as I can be If he didn't like my potatoes, why did he dig so deep If he didn't like my potatoes, why did he dig so deep In his mama's potatoe patch, five and ten times a week?
