Lyrics [edit]

Let u.s. interruption 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 up once again no more.

Chorus:
'Tis the song, the sigh of the weary,
Hard Times, hard times, come again no more.
Many days y'all take lingered around my motel door;
Oh! Difficult times come again no more.

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

There's a stake weeping maiden who toils her life away,
With a worn heart whose amend days are o'er:
Though her voice would be merry, 'tis sighing all the mean solar day,
Oh! Hard times come again no more than.
Chorus

'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 once again no more.
Chorus
