Original text and translations

English text

While we all sob sorrow with the poor.
There's a song that will linger forever in our ears
"Oh hard times come again no more".

R.:
'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 com again no more

While we seek mirth and beauty and music light and gay
There are frail forms fainting at the door.
Tho' there voices are silent there pleading look will say
"Oh hard times come again no more."
R.
