Hard Times, Come Again No More lyrics

Let us pause in life's pleasures

And count its many tears

While we all share sorrow with the poor

There's a song that will linger

Forever in our ears

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

While we seek mirth and beauty

And music light and gay

There are frail forms fainting 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 drooping maiden

Who toils her life away

With a worn heart whose better days 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

Oh, hard times, come again no more
