Matthew Perryman Jones - Hard Times Lyrics
Let us pause in life’s pleasures and count its many tearsWhile we all sup sorrow with the poorThere’s a song it will linger forever in our earsOh! Hard Times come again no moreCHORUSIt’s the song, and the sigh of the wearyOh! hard times, Hard Times, come again no moreMany days you have lingered all around my cabin doorOh! Hard Times, come again no moreWhile we seek mirth and beauty and music light and gayThere are frail forms fainting at the doorThough their voices are silent, their pleading looks will sayOh! Hard Times, come again no moreCHORUSIt’s the song, and the sigh of the wearyOh! hard times, Hard Times, come again no moreMany days you have lingered all around my cabin doorOh! Hard Times, come again no moreThere’s a pale drooping maiden who foils her life awayWith the worn out heart whose better days are o’erThough her voice would be merry, its sighing all the dayOh! Hard Times, come again no more.CHORUSIt’s the song, and the sigh of the wearyOh! hard times, Hard Times, come again no moreMany days you have lingered all around my cabin doorOh! Hard Times, come again no more
