Hard Times Come Again No More Lyrics

Kristin Chenoweth

Let us pause in life's pleasures and count its many tears
While we all sup sorrow with the poor;
There'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
Hard Times, hard times, come again no more
Many days you have lingered around my cabin door;
Oh! Hard times come again no more

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

[Chorus]

There's a pale drooping maiden who toils her life away
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 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 dirge that is murmured around the lowly grave
Oh! Hard times come again no more

[Chorus]
