Hard Times Come Again No More (Voice)

Let us pause in life's pleasures to 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 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 fainting by the door

Though their voices are silent, their pleading looks will say

Oh, hard times, come again no more

'Tis a sigh that is wafted across the troubled wave

'Tis is a wail that is heard upon the shore

'Tis a dirge that is murmured around the lowly grave

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 you have lingered around my cabin door

Oh, hard times, come again no more

Oh, hard times
