Hard Times (Come Again No More) lyrics - Brett Dennen

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

While we all sup sorrow with the poor

There's a song that will linger forever in our ears

Oh hard times, come again no more

'Tis the song, the sigh of the weary

Hard times, hard times, come again no more

Many days have you lingered around my cabin door

Oh hard times, come again no more

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

There are frail forms fainting by the door

Though their voices are silent, their haunting looks will stay

Oh hard times, come again no more

'Tis the song, the sigh of the weary

Hard times, hard times, come again no more

Many days have you lingered around my cabin door

Oh hard times, come again no more

Mhmm hard times, come again no more
