Nanci Griffith - Hard Times Come Again No More Lyrics
(Stephen Collins Foster)Let us pause in life's pleasures and count it's many tearsWhile we all sup sorrow with the poorThere's a song that will linger forever in our ears;Oh, hard times come again no moreChorus'Tis the song, the sigh of the wearyHard times, hard times come again no moreMany days you have lingeredAround 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 say;Oh, hard times come again no moreChorusThere's a pale sorrowed maiden who toils her life awayWith a worn heart whose better days are o'erThough her voice would be merry, 'tis sighing all the dayOh, hard times come again no moreChorus'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 graveOh, hard times come again no moreChorus
