Hard Times Come Again No More? (Nicky Campbell Bbc Radio Session, 6 January 1989)

In the midst of life's pleasures let us count its many tears
For we all have sorrows lead and store
There's a song that will linger forever in our ears
Oh, hard times come again no more

There's a 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 come again no more

While we seek mirth and beauty and music bright and gay
There are frail forms feeding at the door
Though their voices are silent, their pleading looks will say
Oh, hard times come again no more

There's a 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 come again no more

There's a 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 come again no more

Hard times come again no more
Oh, hard times come again no more
