Lyrics [edit]

Allow u.s. pause in life'due south pleasures and count its many tears,
While we all sup sorrow with the poor;
In that location's a song that will linger forever in our ears;
Oh! Hard times come again no more.

Chorus:
'Tis the vocal, the sigh of the weary,
Hard Times, hard times, come once again no more.
Many days you take lingered effectually my cabin door;
Oh! Difficult times come again no more.

While we seek mirth and beauty and music lite and gay,
There are delicate forms fainting at the door;
Though their voices are silent, their pleading looks will say
Oh! Hard times come once again no more than.
Chorus

There's a pale weeping maiden who toils her life abroad,
With a worn eye whose improve days are o'er:
Though her voice would exist merry, 'tis sighing all the day,
Oh! Hard times come again no more.
Chorus

'Tis a sigh that is wafted across the troubled moving ridge,
'Tis a wail that is heard upon the shore
'Tis a chant that is murmured effectually the lowly grave
Oh! Difficult times come up again no more than.
Chorus
