Permit the states pause in life's pleasures and count its many tears,
While nosotros all sup sorrow with the poor;
There'south a song that will linger forever in our ears;
Oh! Hard times come again no more than.

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

While we seek mirth and beauty and music low-cal and gay,
In that location are frail forms fainting at the door;
Though their voices are silent, their pleading looks will say
Oh! Difficult times come over again no more.
Chorus

There'due south a pale weeping maiden who toils her life away,
With a worn heart whose ameliorate days are o'er:
Though her voice would be merry, 'tis sighing all the twenty-four hour period,
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! Difficult times come again no more than.
Chorus
