Hard Times

Let us pause in life's pleasures and count it's many tears
While we all sup sorrow with the poor.
There's a song that will linger forever in our ears,
Oh hard times come again no more.
While we seek mirth and beauty and music light and gay
There are frail forms fading at the door
Though their voices are silent, their pleading looks will say
Oh hard times come again no more.

'Tis the song, the sigh of the weary,
Hard times, hard times come again no more
Many days you have lingered around my cabin door
Oh hard times come again no more.

There's a pale sorrowful maiden who toils her life away
With a worn out heart her joys are o'er
Though her voice would be merry, 'tis sighing all the day
Oh hard times come again no more.

'Tis the song, the sigh of the weary,
Hard times, hard times come again no more
Many days you have lingered around my cabin door
Oh hard times come again no more.

'Tis a sigh that is wafting across the troubled wave,
'Tis a wail that is heard upon the shore.
'Tis a dirge that is murmured around the lowly grave,
Oh hard times come again no more.

'Tis the song, the sigh of the weary,
Hard times, hard times come again no more
Many days you have lingered around my cabin door
Oh hard times come again no more.
'Tis the song, the sigh of the weary,
Hard times, hard times come again no more
Many days you have lingered around my cabin door
Oh hard times come again no more.
