Song Lyrics

Verse 1
Let us pause in life's pleasures and count its 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.
Chorus
'Tis the song, the sigh of the weary,
Oh, hard times come again no more.
Many years hast though lingered around my cabin door,
Oh, hard times come again no more.
Verse 2
While we seek mirth and beauty and music light and gay
There are frail forms fainting at the door,
Thought their voices are silent their pleading looks will say -
Oh, hard times come again no more.
Chorus
Verse 3
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.'
Chorus
Verse 4
'Tis a sigh that is wafted across the troubled wave,
'Tis a wail that is heard upon the shore,
'Tis a dirge that is murmured around the lonely grave -
Oh, hard times come again no more.
Chorus
