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 Oh, hard times come again no more 'Tis the song, the sigh of the weary Hard times, hard times Come again no more Many days have you lingered Around my cabin door Oh, hard times come again no more While we seek mirth in beauty The music bright and gay There are frail forms fainting by the door Though their voices are silent Their haunting looks will say Oh, hard times come again no more 'Tis a song sigh of the weary Hard times, hard times Come again no more Many days have you lingered Around my cabin door Oh, hard times come again no more Mmh Hard times come again no more.
