Hard Times Come Again No More by Stephen Foster (Celia Ramsay with Fretful Event)

Oh, my—this was the first band I was ever in. Fretful Event was a bluegrass band with Bill Downs on banjo, Stan Dye on Dobro and mandolin, Vern Flock on acoustic guitar, and me doing vocals and playing autoharp. We were invited to perform for a video program for and by seniors in 1994. The program was called "The Better Part" based at DeAnza College in Cupertino. My mother, Val Ramsay hosted the program, but these are a couple of trimmed clips. Lyrics: 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: ‘Tis the song, the sigh of the weary Hard time, 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 ‘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 While we seek mirth and beauty and music bright and gay There are frail forms fainting at the door Though their voices are silent, their pleading looks still say Oh hard times, come again no more
