Lyrics

[ti:Hard times come again no more]
[ar:]
[al:]
[00:20.72] Let us pause in life's pleasures and count its many tears,
[00:27.53] While we all sup sorrow with the poor;
[00:34.56] There's a song that will linger forever in our ears;
[00:41.58] Oh! Hard times come again no more.
[00:47.20]
[00:48.10]
[00:48.81] 'Tis the song, the sigh of the weary,
[00:56.60] Hard Times, hard times, come again no more
[01:04.69] Many days you have lingered around my cabin door;
[01:11.67] Oh! Hard times come again no more.
[01:17.83]
[01:18.23]
[01:19.15] While we seek mirth and beauty and music light and gay,
[01:25.72] There are frail forms fainting at the door;
[01:32.74] Though their voices are silent, their pleading looks will say
[01:39.72] Oh! Hard times come again no more.
[01:45.58]
[01:46.04]
[01:46.80] 'Tis the song, the sigh of the weary,
[01:54.28] Hard Times, hard times, come again no more
[02:02.37] Many days you have lingered around my cabin door;
[02:09.17] Oh! Hard times come again no more.
[02:15.19]
[02:29.48]
[02:48.28] There's a pale drooping maiden who toils her life away,
[02:55.04] With a worn heart whose better days are o'er:
[03:01.97] Though her voice would be merry, 'tis sighing all the day,
[03:09.21] Oh! Hard times come again no more.
[03:15.47]
[03:15.83]
[03:16.43] 'Tis a sigh that is wafted across the troubled wave,
[03:22.89] 'Tis a wail that is heard upon the shore
[03:29.71] 'Tis a dirge that is murmured around the lowly grave
[03:36.59] Oh! Hard times come again no more.
[03:42.33]
[03:43.00]
[03:43.66] 'Tis the song, the sigh of the weary,
[03:51.28] Hard Times, hard times, come again no more
[04:00.39] Many days you have lingered around my cabin door;
[04:07.35] Oh! Hard times come again no more.
[04:14.50] Oh! Hard times come again no more.
