Let the states intermission in life's pleasures and count its many tears,
While nosotros all sup sorrow with the poor;
There's a song that volition linger forever in our ears;
Oh! Hard times come over again no more.

Chorus:
'Tis the song, the sigh of the weary,
Hard Times, hard times, come up once more no more than.
Many days you have lingered around my cabin door;
Oh! Difficult times come over again no more.

While we seek mirth and dazzler and music light and gay,
There are frail forms fainting at the door;
Though their voices are silent, their pleading looks will say
Oh! Difficult times come again no more.
Chorus

In that location'south a stake weeping maiden who toils her life abroad,
With a worn center whose amend days are o'er:
Though her voice would be merry, 'tis sighing all the day,
Oh! Hard times come up again no more.
Chorus

'Tis a sigh that is wafted beyond the troubled wave,
'Tis a wail that is heard upon the shore
'Tis a chant that is murmured effectually the lowly grave
Oh! Hard times come up over again no more than.
Chorus
