Lyrics [edit]
Permit us break in life'south pleasures and count its many tears,
While we all sup sorrow with the poor;
There'south a song that volition linger forever in our ears;
Oh! Hard times come again no more.Chorus:
'Tis the song, the sigh of the weary,
Hard Times, difficult times, come once again no more.
Many days you have lingered around my cabin door;
Oh! Hard times come up once more no more than.While nosotros seek mirth and beauty and music light and gay,
At that place are delicate forms fainting at the door;
Though their voices are silent, their pleading looks volition say
Oh! Hard times come again no more than.
ChorusThere'southward a pale weeping maiden who toils her life away,
With a worn heart whose ameliorate days are o'er:
Though her vox would be merry, 'tis sighing all the day,
Oh! Hard times come once more no more.
Chorus'Tis a sigh that is wafted across the troubled wave,
'Tis a wail that is heard upon the shore
'Tis a dirge that is murmured around the lowly grave
Oh! Hard times come once more no more.
Chorus
