I packed my rags, went down the hill Left my dependents a-lying still Just as the dawn was a-rising up I was making good speed I left a letter lying on the bed From a man in need it read You know it's so hard to find It's so hard to find Who's going to cure the heart of a man in need All of my friends don't comprehend me Their kind of style it just offends me I want to take 'em I want to shake 'em 'Til they pay me some heed You've got to ride in one direction Until you find the right connection You know it's so hard to find It's so hard to find Who's going to cure The heart of a man in need? Who's going to give you real happiness? Who's going to give you contentedness? Who's going to lead you? Who's going to feed you? And cut you free? Well I've sailed every ship in the sea But I travelled this world in misery It's so hard to find It's so hard to find Who's going to cure The heart of a man in need? Who's going to shoe your feet? Who's going to pay your rent? Who's going to stand by you? Who's going to cure the heart of a man in need? Of a man in need?
