[Verse 1] Let us pause in life’s pleasures and count her many tears While we all share in sorrow with the poor.      It’s a song that will linger forever in our ears Oh hard times come again no more       [Chorus] It’s a song the sigh of the weary. Hard times hard times come again no more. Many days you have lingered too long around my door. Oh hard times come again no more.      [Verse 2] Though we seek love and beauty and music light and gay. There’re frail forms fainting at the door       Though their voices are silent their pleading faces say Oh hard times come again no more.      [Chorus] It’s a song the sigh of the weary. Hard times hard times come again no more. Many days you have lingered too long around my door. Oh hard times come again no more.                          [Verse 3] There’s a pale young maiden who toils her life away With a worn heart whose better days are over.      Though her voice would be singing it’s sighing all the day Oh hard times come again no more.      [Chorus] It’s a song the sigh of the weary. Hard times hard times come again no more. Many days you have lingered too long around my door. Oh hard times come again no more. Oh hard times come again no more.
