Hard Times Come Again No More
Let us pause in lifes pleasures and count its many tears,
While we all sup sorrow with the poor;
Theres a song that will linger forever in our ears;
Oh hard times come again no more.
[Chorus:]
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 at the door;
Though their voices are silent, their pleading looks will say
Oh hard times come again no more.
Theres a pale drooping maiden who toils her life away,
With a worn heart whose better days are oer:
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 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 again no more.
[Chorus]

There will probably always be good reasons to sing that song.
