Jennifer Warnes - Hard Times (Come Again No More) lyrics

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 hard times come again no more [Chorus] There's a pale drooping maiden who toils 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 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 [Chorus]
