lyrics

These ain't the hardest time I've been through
But they ain't so easy, neither, that is true
But with the help of the Lord
And my sweet-sweet baby
These times will better
You just wait and see

I used to work for my daddy
Now I work my fingers down for the man
But, neither one can help me with my trouble
So I guess I'll have to do the best I can

One man rich, and one man poor
One man headed for the promised door
One man steals and one man gives
One man die while the other lives
Brother, do you know what I'm saying
You know that life is like a double shot of rye
Oh, you work up the courage to inhale it
And when you drink it down, you know that you've paid the price

These ain't the hardest times I've been through (no they ain't)
But they ain't so easy, neither, that is true
But with the help of the Lord (good Lord)
And my sweet-sweet baby
These times will get better
You just wait and see
Yeah, with the help of the Lord
And my sweet-sweet baby
These times will get better
You just wait and see
You just wait and see
You just wait and see
