lyrics

HARD TIMES COME AGAIN NO MORE
Traditional

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
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 all around my cabin door
Oh hard times come again no more

While we seek mirth and beauty in music live and gay
There are frail forms fainting at the door
Though their voices are silent their pleading looks will say
Oh hard times come again no more

There's a fair lovely maiden who toils her life away
With a worn heart whose better days are o'er
Though her voice it should be merry it is silent all the day
Oh hard times come again no more
