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 Timesm come again no more.
CHORUS
'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 all sup sorrow with the poor;
There's a song that will linger forever in our ears;--
Oh! Hard Timesm come again no more.
CHORUS
'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.
(CHORUS)
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.
(CHORUS)
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)
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)
'Tis a sigh that is wafted across the troubled wave,
'Tis a wail that is hear upon the shore,
'Tis a dirge that is murmured around the lowly grave,--
Oh! Hard Times, come again no more.
(CHORUS)
'Tis a wail that is hear upon the shore,
'Tis a dirge that is murmured around the lowly grave,--
Oh! Hard Times, come again no more.
(CHORUS)
