Lyrics [edit]
Let us suspension in life's pleasures and count its many tears,
While we all sup sorrow with the poor;
There'due south a song that will linger forever in our ears;
Oh! Hard times come up once again no more.Chorus:
'Tis the song, the sigh of the weary,
Hard Times, hard times, come up again no more.
Many days you have lingered effectually my cabin door;
Oh! Hard times come again no more than.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.
ChorusThere'due south a pale weeping maiden who toils her life abroad,
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 once 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 chant that is murmured around the lowly grave
Oh! Difficult times come up once again no more than.
Chorus
