The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Many Years You Have Lingered Around My Cabin Door
Oh Hard Times Come Again no More
Oh Hard Times Come Again no More
Oh Hush a Bye Hard Times, Go Ye Away
Cause My Hungry Baby Wants a Gingerbread Cake
Not a Cow in the Barn Yard no Money to Spend
Not An Egg in the Hayloft, no Little Red Hen
Chorus:
So, Hush a Bye Baby Don't Cry no More
Your Mama Can't Give You What You're Crying For
There's a Wolf At the Door With An Angry
Cold Hungry Stare, He Keeps Howling of Hard Times
And the Cupboard Is Bare
Oh, Hush a Bye Hard Times Go Ye to Rest
Cause My Ragged Baby Wants a New Ruffled Dress
And She Wants Some New Shoes With Buckles to Wear
And She Wants Some Silver Bows For Her Golden Hair
Repeat Chorus Twice
Hush a Bye Hard Times Go Ye Away
I Don't Intend to Be Treated This Way
So, Hush a Bye Baby
Hush a Bye Hard Times
Hush a Bye Baby
Don't Cry no More
Hush a Bye Hard Times
Hush a Bye Baby
Hush a Bye Hard Times
Come Ye no More
Fade:
Many Years You Have Lingered Around My Cabin Door
Hush a Bye Hard Times
Come Ye no More
Hush a Bye Baby
Hush a Bye Hard Times
Hush a Bye Baby
Don't Cry no More
Hush a Bye Hard Times
Hush a Bye Baby
Hush a Bye Hard Times
Come Ye no More
