Hard Times Come Again No More

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.

'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.
