No Hard Times

        D                                          D7
I got a barrel of flour Lord I got a bucket of lard
        G                                      D
I got a barrel of flour Lord I got a bucket of lard
        A7                                  D
I ain't got no blues got chickens in my backyard
    D                                          D7
Got corn in my crib cotton growin' in my patch
      G                                    D
I got corn in my crib cotton growin' in my patch
           A7                                            D
I got that old hen a sittin' waitin' for that old hen to hatch
      D       A7        D
Yodel lyee-oh hard time blues

          G                                      D
I'm gonna hitch up my mule and take a hold of my line

          G                                       D
I'm gonna build me a shanty Lord I'm gonna settle down

I can make more money with my pick and plow
      G                                D
I can make more money with my pick and plow
        A7                                   D
With my one-eyed mule and my good ole Jersey cow
