["Hard Times Come Again No More" by Stephen Foster]
[gentle piano music]
♪ 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 around my cabin door ♪
♪ Oh, hard times come again no more ♪
[gentle piano music]
♪ '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 around my cabin door ♪
♪ Oh, hard times come again no more ♪
