Hard Times, hard times, come again no more.
Many days you accept lingered around my cabin door;

While we seek mirth and beauty and music lite and gay,
There are frail forms fainting at the door;
Though their voices are silent, their pleading looks will say
Oh! Hard times come again no more.

With a worn center whose better days are o'er:
Though her voice would exist merry, 'tis sighing all the day,
Oh! Hard times come again no more.

'Tis a wail that is heard upon the shore
'Tis a dirge that is murmured around the lowly grave
Oh! Difficult times come up again no more.
