Let us pause in lifes pleasures
And count its many tears
While we all sup sorrow with the poor
Theres a song that will linger
Forever in our ears
Oh hard times come again no more
Chorus:
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
While we seek mirth and beauty
And music light and gay
There are frail forms waiting at the door
Though their voices are silent
Their pleading looks will say
Oh hard times come again no more
Chorus
Solo- verse split
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
Many days you have lingered around my cabin door
Oh hard times come again no more
