[ti:Hard times come again no more]

[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.
