Let us pause in life’s pleasure
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.

Refrein:
Tis the song, the sigh of the weary
Hard times, hard times, come again no more
Many days you have lingered around my cabine door
Oh, Hard times come again no more.

While we seek mirthe and beauty
And music light and gay
There are frail forms fainting at the door
Though their voices are silent
Their pleading looks will say:
Oh, Hard times come again no more.

Refrein

Hoe oe oe….
Tis a sigh that is wafted around the troubled wave,
Tis a whale that is heard upon the shore
Tis a dirge that is murmured around the lowly grave
Oh, Hard times come again no more.

Refrein
