Time Tough - Toots & The Maytals

Written by：Frederick Hibbert/John Denver

Aah

Feelin'

I go to bed

But sleep won't come

Get up in the night

I couldn't fight my feelings no

Early in the morning

Have mercy

It's just the same situation na na na

Here came the landlord

Yeah

Just a knocking upon my door

Just a knocking upon my door

I've got four hundred months' rent to pay

And I can't find a job

Let me let me tell you time tough time tough

Everything is out of sight it's so hard

So hard so hard so hard

Time tough time tough

Everything is growing higher and higher higher and higher

Sister Lee cannot bear it

And brother Lincoln only stand it now

They're crying night and day louder and louder

Nobody to help them make their way

I've got four hundred months' rent to pay

And I can't find a dollar

Let me tell you time tough time tough

Everything is out of sight it's so hard

So hard so hard so hard

Time hard time hard

Everything is growing higher and higher

Higher and higher

Whoah weh

Good times once lead into bad times

But now the bad times take over

When I was a little boy

I just keep on feeling it feeling it feeling it feeling it

Wow keep on feeling

Ohhhh

Time tough time tough

Everything is out of sight it's so hard

So hard so hard so hard

Time tough time tough

Everything is growing higher and higher

Higher and higher

Can't blame the minister

And you can't blame the preacher

And you can't blame your brother

And you cannot blame your sister

Can't blame your friends

'Cause today is the judgement day

And that's why everyone have to pray

Let me tell you time tough time tough

Everything is out of sight it's so hard

So hard so hard so hard

Time tough time tough

Everything is growing higher and higher

Higher and higher

Higher and higher

Higher and higher

Higher and higher

Higher and higher

Higher and higher

Higher and higher

Higher and higher

Higher and higher

Higher and higher
