Let us pause in life's pleasures and count its many tearsA
While we all sup sorrow with the poorB
There's a song that will linger forever in our earsC
Oh hard times come again no moreD
-
-
ChorusE
-
'Tis the song the sigh of the wearyF
Hard times hard times come again no moreD
Many days you have lingered around my cabin doorD
Oh hard times come again no moreD
-
-
While we seek mirth and beauty and music light and gayG
There are frail forms fainting at the doorD
Though their voices are silent their pleading looks will sayG
Oh hard times come again no moreD
-
ChorusE
-
There's a pale drooping maiden who toils her life awayG
With a worn heart whose better days are o'erH
Though her voice would be merry 'tis sighing all the dayG
Oh hard times come again no moreD
-
ChorusE
-
'Tis a sigh that is wafted across the troubled waveI
'Tis a wail that is heard upon the shoreD
'Tis a dirge that is murmured around the lowly graveI
Oh hard times come again no moreD
-
ChorusE
