Hard Times

<p>[Verse 1]<br/>Let us pause in life&#x27;s pleasures and count its many tears<br/>While we all sup sorrow with the poor<br/>There&#x27;s a song that will linger forever in our ears<br/>Oh, hard times, come again no more<br/><br/>[Chorus]<br/>It’s the song, the sign of the weary<br/>Hard times, hard times, come again no more<br/>Many days you have lingered all around my cabin door<br/>Oh hard times, come again no more<br/><br/>[Verse 2]<br/>While we seek mirth and beauty and music light and gay<br/>There are frail forms fainting at the door<br/>Though their voices are silent, their pleading looks will say<br/>Oh, hard times, come again no more<br/>[Chorus]<br/><br/>[Verse 3]<br/>There&#x27;s a pale drooping maiden who toils her life away<br/>With a worn heart, whose better days are o&#x27;er<br/>Though her voice it would be merry, its sighing all the day<br/>Oh, hard times, come again no more<br/><br/>[Chorus][x2]
