Let us pause in life'south pleasures and count its many tears,
While we all sup sorrow with the poor;
There'due south a song that volition linger forever in our ears;
Oh! Hard times come up once more no more.

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

While we seek mirth and beauty and music light and gay,
There are delicate forms fainting at the door;
Though their voices are silent, their pleading looks will say
Oh! Hard times come once more no more.
Chorus

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

'Tis a sigh that is wafted beyond the troubled moving ridge,
'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 than.
Chorus
