Let us pause in life's pleasures and count its many tears

Oh, hard times come again no more
[Chorus]

Hard times, hard times, come again no more

While we seek mirth and beauty, and music bright and gay

Though their voices are silent, their pleading looks will say

Oh, hard times come again no more
