HARD TIMES COME AGAIN NO MORE

music and lyrics by Stephen Foster (PD)

Let us pause in life's pleasures and count its many tears
And pay heed to the sorrow of the poor
There's a song that will linger forever in our ears
Oh, hard times come again no more

It’s a song, a sigh of the weary
Hard times, ard times, come again no more
Many days you have lingered around my cabin door
Oh, hard times come again no more

As 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 eyes will say
Oh, hard times come again no more

    (chorus)

It’s a sigh that is wafted across the troubled wave
It’s a cry that is heard upon the shore
It’s a dirge that is murmured around the lowly grave
Oh, hard times come again no more

(chorus)
