作曲 : Stephen Foster/1855 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 Tis the song, the sigh of the weary Hard times, hard times, come again no more Many days you have lingered all around my cabin door Oh, hard times, come again no more There`s a pale drooping maiden who foils her life away With a worn out heart, whose better days are over Though her voice it would be merry, tis sighing all the day Oh, hard times, come again no more Tis the song, the sigh of the weary Hard times, hard times, come again no more Many days you have lingered all around my cabin door Oh, hard times, come again no more Tis the song, the sigh of the weary Hard times, hard times, come again no more Many days you have lingered all around my cabin door Oh, hard times, come again no more 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 Tis the song, the sigh of the weary Hard times, hard times, come again no more Many days you have lingered all around my cabin door Oh, hard times, come again no more Tis the song, the sigh of the weary Hard times, hard times, come again no more Many days you have lingered all around my cabin door Oh, hard times, come again no more Oh, hard times, come again no more
