[00:20.72]Let us pause in life's pleasures and count its many tears,[00:27.53]While we all sup sorrow with the poor;[00:34.56]There's a song that will linger forever in our ears;[00:41.58]Oh! Hard times come again no more.[00:47.20][00:48.10][00:48.81]'Tis the song, the sigh of the weary,[00:56.60]Hard Times, hard times, come again no more[01:04.69]Many days you have lingered around my cabin door;[01:11.67]Oh! Hard times come again no more.[01:17.83][01:18.23][01:19.15]While we seek mirth and beauty and music light and gay,[01:25.72]There are frail forms fainting at the door;[01:32.74]Though their voices are silent, their pleading looks will say[01:39.72]Oh! Hard times come again no more.[01:45.58][01:46.04][01:46.80]'Tis the song, the sigh of the weary,[01:54.28]Hard Times, hard times, come again no more[02:02.37]Many days you have lingered around my cabin door;[02:09.17]Oh! Hard times come again no more.[02:15.19][02:29.48][02:48.28]There's a pale drooping maiden who toils her life away,[02:55.04]With a worn heart whose better days are o'er:[03:01.97]Though her voice would be merry, 'tis sighing all the day,[03:09.21]Oh! Hard times come again no more.[03:15.47][03:15.83][03:16.43]'Tis a sigh that is wafted across the troubled wave,[03:22.89]'Tis a wail that is heard upon the shore[03:29.71]'Tis a dirge that is murmured around the lowly grave[03:36.59]Oh! Hard times come again no more.[03:42.33][03:43.00][03:43.66]'Tis the song, the sigh of the weary,[03:51.28]Hard Times, hard times, come again no more[04:00.39]Many days you have lingered around my cabin door;[04:07.35]Oh! Hard times come again no more.[04:14.50]Oh! Hard times come again no more.
