about

Stephen Foster arr. Andru Bemis

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
hard times come again no more

It's the song the sigh of the weary
hard times, hard times come again no more
many days you have lingered
around my cabin door
hard times come again no more

While we seek mirth and beauty
and music light and gay
there are frail forms fainting at my door
though their voices are silent
their pleading looks will say
hard times come again no more

There's a pale, drooping maiden
who toils her life away
with a worn heart whose better days are o'er
though her voice should be merry
'tis sighing all the way
hard times come again no more
