lyrics

On Monday morning
The man is coming
And he will take
Our farm away
And On Tuesday
We'll be homeless
On the road
The laid long day

Three bad winters
And 2 dry summers
Crops lie dying
In the barren fields
Brother Joe is drinking
Bourbon whiskey
From the bottle
So it won't be real

You can pray for me, mother
Sister, shed your tears
Father, cousins and brother
Hope to God someone hears
There's an east wind that is blowing
Can you feel it in your bones
There's no good that's a-coming
A devil's bargain set in stone

Hard times are here don't you know
There's cracks in the walls of Jericho
Too many people lied
While others stood aside
There's no gold and no rainbow

Grandfather told me
That he remembered
As a small boy
In the dustbowl days
Piled all they owned
In their old Packard
Headed out west
To Californiaay

There's no new land now, no promise
No sweet, unturned earth
Just a battered old trailer
On the edge of Nothingworth
It takes a lifetime, of working
Long days and sleepless nights
In a day the bank took it
You can't tell me that is right

Hard times are here don't you know
There's cracks in the walls of Jericho
Too many people lied
While others stood aside
There's no gold and no rainbow
There's no gold and no rainbow
