C
Let us pause in life's pleasures and
 count its many tears
F                  C
While we all sup sorrow with the 
poor.
C
There's a song that will linger 
forever in our ears,
F                C
Oh, hard times, come again no more.
C
'Tis the song, the sigh of the 
weary.
C            F             C
Hard times, hard times, come again 
no more.
C
Many days you have lingered all 
around my cabin door.
F                 C
Oh, hard times, come again no more.

There's pale drooping maiden who 
     F            C
foils her life away

With a worn out heart, whose better
