It was published in New York by Firth, Pond & Co. in 1854 as Foster's Melodies No. 28. Well-known and popular in its twenty-four hour period,[1] both in America and Europe,[2] [iii] the song asks the fortunate to consider the plight of the less fortunate and includes one of Foster'southward favorite images: "a pale drooping maiden".

A satirical version about soldiers' food was pop in the American Civil State of war, "Hard Tack Come Over again No More".

Lyrics [edit]

Let united states of america pause in life's pleasures and count its many tears,
While we all sup sorrow with the poor;
In that location's a vocal that will linger forever in our ears;
Oh! Hard times come again no more.

Chorus:
'Tis the song, the sigh of the weary,
Difficult Times, hard times, come up again no more.
Many days you have lingered around my cabin door;
Oh! Hard times come again no more.

While nosotros seek mirth and beauty and music light and gay,
There are frail forms fainting at the door;
Though their voices are silent, their pleading looks will say
Oh! Hard times come again no more.
Chorus

There's a stake weeping maiden who toils her life away,
With a worn heart whose better days are o'er:
Though her voice would exist merry, 'tis sighing all the twenty-four hours,
Oh! Hard times come over again no more than.
Chorus

'Tis a sigh that is wafted across the troubled wave,
'Tis a wail that is heard upon the shore
'Tis a dirge that is murmured around the lowly grave
Oh! Hard times come up again no more.
Chorus
