Hard Times Lyrics - Tim O'brien

Let us pause in lifes pleasures 

And count its many tears 

While we all sup sorrow with the poor 

Theres a song that will linger 

Forever in our ears 

Oh hard times come again no more 

Chorus: 

Tis the song the sigh of the weary 

Hard times, hard times come again no more 

Many days you have lingered around my cabin door 

Oh hard times come again no more 

While we seek mirth and beauty 

And music light and gay 

There are frail forms waiting at the door 

Though their voices are silent 

Their pleading looks will say 

Oh hard times come again no more 

Chorus 

Solo- verse split 

Tis the song the sigh of the weary 

Hard times, hard times come again no more 

Many days you have lingered around my cabin door 

Oh hard times come again no more 

Many days you have lingered around my cabin door 

Oh hard times come again no more
