The north wind has began howling 

And the skies are pretty an blue 

The north wind has began howling 

But the skies are pretty an blue 

And winter is coming 

Wonder what the poor people are gonna to do? 

People talk about the time 

That they have never seen befo' 

People talkin' about the time 

That they have never seen befo' 

But hard times is knockin' 

On ev'rybody's do' 

Poor peple are like prisoners 

But they just ain't got on a ball an chain 

Poor peple are like prisoners 

But they just ain't got on a ball an chain 

But the way they are faring 

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 

An if it don't 

I swear it always will be the same.
