+ | ====== Hard Times (Come Again No More) ====== | ||
+ | by Stephen Foster (1854) | ||
+ | |||
+ | Let us pause in life's pleasures and count its many tears, | ||
+ | While we all sup sorrow with the poor; | ||
+ | There' | ||
+ | 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 hard times come again no more | ||
+ | |||
+ | (Chorus) | ||
+ | |||
+ | There' | ||
+ | With a worn heart whose better days are o' | ||
+ | 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 wave, | ||
+ | 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. | ||
