Let us Dpause in life's pleasures, and Gcount it's many tDears,
while we aDll sup, Asorrow wA7ith the Dpoor.
There's a Dsong that will linger forGever in our eDars,
Goh, hDard tGimes Acome again no Dmore.
Chorus:
Tis the Dsong, the sigh of the GwearDy,
hDard times, hard times, E7come again no Amore.A7  
Many dDays you have lingered arGound my cabin dDoor,
Goh, Dhard times come aAgain no Dmore.
While we Dseek mirth and beauty, and music light aGnd gay,
their fDrail forms fA7ainting at the Ddoor.
Though their vDoices are silent, their pGleading looks will say,
Doh, hGard Dtimes cAome again no mDore.
Chorus:
Tis the Dsong, the sigh of the GwearDy,
hDard times, hard times, E7come again no Amore.A7  
Many dDays you have lingered arGound my cabin dDoor,

There's a Dpale sorrow maiden who Gtoils her life aDway,
with a wAorn heart whose beA7tter days are Do'er.
Though her Dvoice would be merry, 'tis Gsighing all the day,
Doh, Ghard tiDmes Acome again no Dmore.
