Let us pause in life's pleasures and count its many tears, |
| [00:16.60] |
While we all sup sorrow with the poor; |
| [00:23.10] |
There's a song that will linger forever in our ears; |
| [00:29.10] |
Oh Hard times come again no more. |
| [00:35.60] |
Tis the song, the sigh of the weary, |
| [00:42.05] |
Hard Times, hard times, come again no more. |
| [00:48.95] |
Many days you have lingered around my cabin door; |
| [00:54.30] |
Oh hard times come again no more. |
| [01:01.02] |
|
| [01:12.02] |
While we seek mirth and beauty and music light and gay, |
| [01:18.95] |
There are frail forms fainting at the door; |
| [01:24.72] |
Though their voices are silent, their pleading looks will say, |
| [01:30.67] |
Oh hard times come again no more. |
| [01:37.03] |
Tis the song, the sigh of the weary, |
| [01:43.01] |
Hard Times, hard times, come again no more |
| [01:50.20] |
Many days you have lingered around my cabin door; |
| [01:56.76] |
Oh hard times come again no more. |
| [02:04.10] |
|
| [02:14:76] |
There's a pale drooping maiden who toils her life away, |
| [02:20:56] |
With a worn heart whose better days are o'er: |
| [02:26:74] |
Though her voice would be merry, 'tis sighing all the day, |
| [02:32.75] |
Oh hard times come again no more. |
| [02:39.21] |
Tis the song, the sigh of the weary, |
| [02:46.02] |
Hard Times, hard times, come again no more. |
| [02:52:56] |
Many days you have lingered around my cabin door; |
| [02:58.89] |
Oh hard times come again no more. |
| [03:08.96] |
