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 all around my door
|
Oh, hard times, come again no more
|
|
While we seek mirth and beauty and music to light the way
|
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 all around my door
|
Oh, hard times, come again no more
|
|
There's a pale drooping maiden who toils her life away
|
With a worn out heart, whose better days are o'er
|
Though her voice it 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 all around my door
|
Oh, hard times, come again no more
|
|
Tis a sigh that is wafted across the troubled wave,
|
Tis a wail that is heard upon our shore
|
Tis a dirge that is murmured around those lonely graves
|
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 all around my door
|
Oh, hard times, come again no more
|
