Howling Wind Blues

The north wind has began howlin'
And the skies are pretty blue
The north wind has began howlin'
But the skies are pretty blue
And winter's comin'
Wonder what the poor people are going to do

People talk about the time
That they have never seen before
People talkin' about the time
That they have never seen before
But hard times is knockin'
On everybody's door

Poor people are like prisoners
But they just ain't got on the ball and chain
Poor people are like prisoners
But they just ain't got on the ball and chain
But the way they are farin'
I'd a-swear it's all the same

There ain't no need to worry
Times will bring about a change
There ain't no need to worry
Times will bring about a change
And if it don't
I swear it always will be the same
