HARD TIMES



C                                    F               C
Let us pause in life's pleasures and count it's many tears
                 G               C
While we all sup sorrow with the poor
                                   F           C
There's a song that will linger forever in our ears
              G             C
Oh hard times come again no more

Chorus:
C                             F   C
Tis the song, the sigh of the weary
                       D             G
Hard times, hard times come again no more
     C                          F               C
Many days you have lingered all around my cabin door
              G             C
Oh hard times come again no more

While we seek mirth and beauty and music bright and gay
There are frail forms feinting at the door
Though their voices are silent, there pleading looks still say
Ahh hard times come again no more

chorus

There's a pale droopy maiden who toils her life away
With the worn heart whose better days are o'er
Though her voice would be merry, 'tis sighing all the day
Ahh hard times come again no more

chorus
