Lyrics [edit]
Let us pause in life's pleasures and count its many tears,
While nosotros all sup sorrow with the poor;
There'due south a song that volition linger forever in our ears;
Oh! Difficult times come up over again no more than.Chorus:
'Tis the song, the sigh of the weary,
Difficult Times, hard times, come again no more than.
Many days y'all have lingered around my cabin door;
Oh! Hard times come again no more.While we seek mirth and dazzler and music light and gay,
At that place are frail forms fainting at the door;
Though their voices are silent, their pleading looks will say
Oh! Hard times come again no more.
ChorusAt that place'southward a pale weeping maiden who toils her life away,
With a worn heart whose amend days are o'er:
Though her voice would exist merry, 'tis sighing all the mean solar day,
Oh! Hard times come again no more.
Chorus'Tis a sigh that is wafted across the troubled moving ridge,
'Tis a wail that is heard upon the shore
'Tis a dirge that is murmured effectually the lowly grave
Oh! Hard times come over again no more.
Chorus
