American Old Time Song Lyrics: 59 Hard Times Come Again No More
Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 59
Hard Times Come Again No More.
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.
Chorus.
Tis the song, the sigh 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.
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 looks will say:
Oh, nard times, comes again no more.-Chorus.
There's a pale, drooping maiden, who works her life away,
With a worn heart whose better days are o'er;
Though her voice would be merry, 'tis sighing all the day,
Oh, nard times, come again no more.-Chorus.
'Tis the sigh that is wafted across the troubled wave,
'Tis the wail that is heard upon the shore,
'Tis a dirge that is murmured around the lowly grave,
Oh, hard times, come again no more.-Chorus.
