Let us pause in life's pleasures and count its many tears
While brace against the hard wind at our door
There's a song that will linger forever in our ears
Woah, hard times come again no more

It's the song of the tired and the weary
Hard times, hard times, come again no more
Many days you have lingered around door
Woah, 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 say
"Oh, hard times come again no more"

It's the song of the tired and the weary
Hard times, hard times, come again no more
Many days you have lingered around door
Woah, hard times come again no more
Soozie!

It's the song of the tired and the weary
Hard times, hard times, come again no more
Many days you have lingered around door
Ho, hard times come again no more
Oh, hard times come again no more
Oh, hard times come again no more
Oh, hard times come again no more
