Hard Times Come Again No More Stephen C. Foster, 1826-1864
"Hard Times" was first published in 1854
Let us [C]pause in life's pleasures and [G]count its many [C]tears,
[F]While we [C]all sup sorrow [G]with the [C]poor.
There's a [C]song that will linger for-[G]ever in our [C]ears,
[F]Oh, [C]hard times come a-[G]gain no [C]more.
'Tis the [C]song, the sigh of the [F]wea--[C]ry,
Hard times, [F]hard [C]times, [Am]come again no [G]more.
Many [C]days you have lingered a-[G]round my cabin [C]door,
[F]Oh, [C]hard times, come a-[G]gain no [C]more.
[F] [C] [G] [C]
While we [C]seek mirth and beauty and [G]music light and [C]gay,
[F]There are [C]frail forms fainting [G]at the [C]door.
Though their [C]voices are silent, their [G]pleading looks will [C]say,
[F]Oh, [C]hard times come a-[G]gain no [C]more.
Chorus. . . .
There's a [C]pale drooping maiden who [G]toils her life a-[C]way,
[F]with a [C]worn heart whose better [G]days are [C]o'er.
Though her [C]voice would be merry, 'tis [G]sighing all the [C]day,
[F]oh, [C]hard times come a-[G]gain no [C]more.
Chorus. . . .
'Tis a [C]sigh that is wafted a-[G]cross the troubled [C]wave,
[F]'tis a [C]wail that is heard u-[G]pon the [C]shore.
'Tis a [C]dirge that is murmured a-[G]round the lowly [C]grave,
[F]Oh, [C]hard times come a-[G]gain no [C]more.
Chorus. . . .
