Lyrics [edit]

Let u.s.a. intermission 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 vocal, the sigh of the weary,
Hard Times, hard times, come once again no more.
Many days you lot have lingered around my cabin door;
Oh! Hard times come again no more.

While we seek mirth and dazzler and music lite 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.
Chorus

There'due south a pale weeping maiden who toils her life away,
With a worn eye whose better days are o'er:
Though her phonation would be merry, 'tis sighing all the day,
Oh! Hard times come again no more than.
Chorus

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