In the midst of life's pleasures let us count its many tears For we all have sorrows lead and store There's a song that will linger forever in our ears Oh, hard times come again no more There's a song, the sigh of the weary Hard times, hard times come again no more Many days you have lingered around my cabin door Oh, hard times come again no more While we seek mirth and beauty and music bright and gay There are frail forms feeding at the door Though their voices are silent, their pleading looks will say Oh, hard times come again no more There's a song, the sigh of the weary Hard times, hard times come again no more Many days you have lingered around my cabin door Oh, hard times come again no more ♪ There's a song, the sigh of the weary Hard times, hard times come again no more Many days you have lingered around my cabin door Oh, hard times come again no more Hard times come again no more Oh, hard times come again no more
