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 around my cabin door
Oh! Hard times come again no more
Oh! Hard times come again no more
