Butch Ross – Hard Times lyrics

let us pause in life's pleasures
and count the many tears
while we all sup sorrow
with the poor

there's a song that will linger
forever in our ears
o, hard times come again no more

it's the song, the sigh of the weary
hard times, hard times come again no more
many days you have lingered
around my cabin doors
o, hard times come again no more

while we seek mirth and beauty
our spirits light and gay
there a frail forms failing at the door
though their voices are silent
their pleading looks do say
o, hard times come again no more

it's the song, the sigh of the weary
hard times, hard times come again no more
many days you have lingered
around my cabin doors
o, hard times come again no more
