Hard Times

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. 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 hearts will say Oh, hard times, come again no more. 'Tis the song, the sign 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. There's a pale drooping maiden who toils her life away With a worn heart, whose better days are gone Though her voice would be merry, she’s sighing all the day Oh, hard times, come again no more. 'Tis the song, the sign 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. 'Tis the song, the sign 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. Oh hard times, come again no more. AAHHHH… Call out loud from the mountain tops freedom calls it never stops Hard times come again no more Call out loud from the mountain tops freedom calls it never stops Hard times come again no more Call out loud from the mountain tops freedom calls it never stops Hard times come again no more Call out loud from the mountain tops freedom calls it never stops Hard times come again no more Call out loud from the mountain tops freedom calls it never stops Hard times come again no more Call out loud from the mountain tops freedom calls it never stops Hard times come again no more
