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 a song and a 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 Though we seek mirth and beauty in music bright and gay There are frail forms fainting at the door Though our voices are silent, their pleading looks will say Oh hard times come again no more
Tis a song and a 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
