Let us pause in life's pleasures and count its many tears
While we all sup some sorrow with the poor
There's a song that will linger forever in our ears
Oh hard times come again no more
This is the song and the sigh of the weary
Hard times hard times come again no more
Many days have you lingered around my cabin door
Oh hard times come again no more
This is the song and the sigh of the weary
Hard times hard times come again no more
There's a song that will linger forever in our ears
Oh hard times come again no more
Many days have you lingered around my cabin door
Oh hard times come again no more
Oh hard times come again no more
