Lyrics [edit]
Let us pause in life's pleasures and count its many tears,
While nosotros all sup sorrow with the poor;
There's a song that will 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 again no more.
Many days you have lingered effectually my cabin door;
Oh! Difficult times come again no more.While we seek mirth and dazzler and music light and gay,
In that location are delicate forms fainting at the door;
Though their voices are silent, their pleading looks volition say
Oh! Hard times come up again no more.
ChorusIn that location'south a pale weeping maiden who toils her life away,
With a worn eye whose better days are o'er:
Though her voice would be merry, 'tis sighing all the day,
Oh! Difficult times come again no more.
Chorus'Tis a sigh that is wafted beyond 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 again no more.
Chorus
