Let us pause in life's pleasures
And count its many tears
While we all sub sorrow with a poor
There's a song that will linger forever in our ears
Oh hard times come again no more
Tears the song the sigh of the weary hard times
Hard times come again no more
Many days you have lingered around my cabin door
Hard times come again no more
While we seek murth and beauty and music light and gay
Their frail forms fading at the door
Though their voices are silence
Their fleeting looks will say
Oh hard times come again no more
Tears the song the sigh of the weary
Hard times hard times come again no more
Many days you have lingered around my cabin door
Hard times come again no more
There's a pale weeping maiden
Who toils her life away
Where the worn hearts is better days are old
Though her voice would be married
To sighing all the day
Oh hard times come again no more
Tears the song the sigh of the weary
Hard times hard times come again no more
Many days you have lingered around my cabin door
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
Tears the song the sigh of the wearyhard times
Hard times come again no more
Many days you have lingered around my cabin door
Hard times come again no more
Oh hard times come again no more
Oh hard times come again no more
