Lyrics [edit]

Let us pause in life'south pleasures and count its many tears,
While we all sup sorrow with the poor;
In that location's a song that will linger forever in our ears;
Oh! Hard times come over again no more.

Chorus:
'Tis the song, the sigh of the weary,
Difficult Times, hard times, come once more no more than.
Many days you have lingered effectually my motel door;
Oh! Hard times come again no more.

While we seek mirth and beauty and music low-cal and gay,
In that location are frail forms fainting at the door;
Though their voices are silent, their pleading looks volition say
Oh! Difficult times come again no more than.
Chorus

There'south a stake weeping maiden who toils her life away,
With a worn heart whose amend days are o'er:
Though her vocalism would be merry, 'tis sighing all the day,
Oh! Hard times come again no more.
Chorus

'Tis a sigh that is wafted across 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 once more no more.
Chorus
