Lyrics [edit]
Let us intermission in life'south pleasures and count its many tears,
While we all sup sorrow with the poor;
At that place's 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,
Difficult Times, difficult times, come again no more than.
Many days y'all have lingered around my motel door;
Oh! Difficult times come up again no more.While we seek mirth and dazzler 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 once more no more.
ChorusThere'southward a stake weeping maiden who toils her life away,
With a worn heart whose ameliorate days are o'er:
Though her phonation would be merry, 'tis sighing all the twenty-four hours,
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 chant that is murmured around the lowly grave
Oh! Hard times come up again no more than.
Chorus
