Lyrics [edit]

Permit us pause in life'southward pleasures and count its many tears,
While we all sup sorrow with the poor;
There'south a song that will linger forever in our ears;
Oh! Difficult times come up over again no more.

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

While nosotros seek mirth and beauty and music calorie-free and gay,
In that location are frail forms fainting at the door;
Though their voices are silent, their pleading looks will say
Oh! Hard times come once more no more.
Chorus

At that place'due south a pale weeping maiden who toils her life away,
With a worn heart whose meliorate days are o'er:
Though her voice would be merry, 'tis sighing all the day,
Oh! Hard times come again no more.
Chorus

'Tis a sigh that is wafted across the troubled moving ridge,
'Tis a wail that is heard upon the shore
'Tis a dirge that is murmured around the lowly grave
Oh! Hard times come again no more than.
Chorus
