Shades, your history lesson brings to mind one of my favorite old Stephen Foster tunes... pbs.org January 17, 1855: With the country in a financial downturn, Foster writes "Hard Times Come Again No More." The song will prove an enduring expression of the struggle with poverty, and will eventually be recorded by Bob Dylan, Nancy Griffith, and Emmylou Harris, among others. Hard Times Come Again No More pbs.org While we 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. Let us pause in life's pleasures and count its many tears, While we all sup sorrow with the poor. There's a song that will linger forever in our ears, Oh! Hard times, come again no more. Chorus. Hard times, come again no more. '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, come again no more There's a pale drooping maiden who toils her life away With a worn heart whose better days are o'er. Though her voice would be merry, 'tis sighing all the day - Oh! Hard times, come again no more. Chorus. Hard times, come again no more. '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, come again no more '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 again no more. Chorus. Hard times, come again no more. '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, come again no more
