作曲 : Stephen Foster/1855

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 you have lingered all around my cabin door

Oh, hard times, come again no more

There`s a pale drooping maiden who foils her life away

With a worn out heart, whose better days are over

Though her voice it would be merry, tis sighing all the day

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 you have lingered all around my cabin door

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 you have lingered all around my cabin door

Oh, hard times, come again no more

Tis a sigh that is wafted across the troubled wave

Tis a wail that is heard upon the shore

Tis a dirge that is murmured around the lowly grave

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 you have lingered all around my cabin door

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 you have lingered all around my cabin door

Oh, hard times, come again no more

Oh, hard times, come again no more
