Hofman & Company - Roy Rogers

Grandma’s remeniscing about the old days, when she was a youngster, long ago.
Times were hard and money low, but she always smiled, when she heard Roy Rogers on the radio

Fifteen hungry children at the table, sweet potato-mash that’s all there was
Daddy could’nt make a buck, monshine was his only luck, and one day they found him hanging on a rope

Hi-ha-hi-ha-ho, times were hard and money low,
And Roy Rogers singing on the radio

Working hard to get an extra nickle, so that she could see the picture show
Gable, Garbo, Erroll Flynn, in the dark she gazed at them, but the king of cowboys really made her go

Hi-ha-hi-ha-ho, times were hard and money low,
And Roy Rogers singing on the radio

Look in her eyes, those long-gone times, were’nt as good as some believe
But in a while, I see her smile, when some old song is coming from the radio

And she tells about her younger brother, how he never came back from the war. In the blue Pacific- night, with his plane he crashed and died
And even now the tears are in her eyes..

Hi-ha-hi-ha-ho, times were hard and money low,
And Roy Rogers singing on the radio
