Sourdough Slim and Robert Armstrong - "No Hard Times" - Video
PUBLISHED:  Jan 26, 2014
DESCRIPTION:
Sourdough Slim and Robert Armstrong play a song (recorded in 1932 by Jimmie Rodgers) called "No Hard Times" on 24 Jan 2014 at the First Presbyterian Church in Roseburg, OR. Throughout the evening, they offered virtuoso yodeling, hilarious jokes, and heartfelt singing, accompanied on accordion, guitar, banjo, ukulele, musical saw, harmonica, National steel and jug. These two modern-day cowboy vaudevillian song-carriers delight in America's rich musical heritage.

(Yodel) I got a barrel of flour, lord I got a bucket of lard (x2)
I ain't got no blues, got chickens in my backyard (yodel)

Got corn in my crib, cotton growin' in my patch (x2)
Got that old hen settin', waitin' for that old hen to hatch (yodel)

Gonna buy all my children a brand new pair of shoes (x2)
I'm gonna quit singin' these doggone hard time blues (yodel)

I'm gonna hitch up my mule, I'm gonna take a halt (hold?) of my line (x2)
And I can't be bothered with all these old hard times (yodel)

Gonna build me a shanty, lord I'm gonna settle down (x2)
Gonna get me a corn fed mama, lord, and quit runnin' around (yodel)

I can make more money with my pig and plough (x2)
With my one-eyed mule and my good old jersey cow (yodel)
