Life is hard
There’s little you can do
‘Cept maybe say a kind word or two
Life isn’t fair
There’s no guarantee
You’ll get the things you want
Or even the ones you need
Life is hard
Life is hard
Life is hard
See the man on the corner
Talkin’ to the air
I wish that I could see the ones
He’s sure are there
‘Once upon’ he had a job
A home and family
Well, they’re gone with the cold cold wind
Never again to be
Life is hard
Life is hard
Life is hard
BRIDGE
Easy come, easy go
Life is but a dream
Here today, and gone tomorrow
At least that’s the way it seems
But don’t you know everything
Turns out the way it does
I hope have a friend to help you
Row when the water gets rough
‘Cause life is hard (… little break ….)
Life is hard
And sometimes sad
But I can still remember
Better times we’ve had
So merrily or otherwise
You gotta row your boat
And maybe bring that friend on board
And take a little time to float
‘Cause life is hard
Life is hard
Life is hard
(instrumental riff … “row, row, row your boat”)
