Hard times
There's a pale drooping maiden
that works her life away
Wh And she gains but the sorrows
of the poor
While her heart should be
happy tis sighing all the day
Ah Hard times Come
again no more
who works
There's a pale drooping maiden that wears her life away
With a worn heart
A frail form whose better days are o'er
voice merry
Though her heart would be happy 'tis sighing all the day
Oh Hard times Come again no more
Gentle hearts ever seeking your pleasures far and [?]
Gentle hearts ever happy with pleasures ever near
Have you e'er supped sorrow with the poor
With a sad voice singing and ringing in your ear
Oh hard times Come again no more
