Let us pause in life's pleasures, and count it's many tears,

F       C          G7         C
while we all sup, sorrow with the poor.

There's a song that will linger forever in our ears,

F    C         G7            C
oh, hard times come again no more.

 F    C           G7              C
their frail forms fainting at the door.

       C                       F               G7        C
Though their voices are silent, their pleading looks will say,
