Lyrics
Stephen Foster
As we pause in life's pleasures and count its many tears Let us all taste the hungers of the poor. There's a song that will linger forever in our ears: Hard times, come again no more. It's a song and a sigh of the weary. Hard times, hard times, come again no more. Many days you have lingered around my cabin door. Hard times, come again no more. As 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: Hard times, come again no more. It's a song and a sigh of the weary. Hard times, hard times, come again no more. Many days you have lingered around my cabin door. Hard times, come again no more. It's a song that the wind blows across the troubled wave. It's a cry that is heard along the shore. It's the words that are whispered beside the lowly grave When hard times will come again no more. It's a song and a sigh of the weary. Hard times, hard times, come again no more. Many days you have lingered around my cabin door. Hard times, come again no more.
