Capo I

Beautiful dreamer, wake unto me,
starlight and dewdrops are waiting for thee
Sounds of the rude world heard in the day,
lull’d by the moonlight have all pass’d away!
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/s/stephen_foster/beautiful_dreamer_crd.html )
Beautiful dreamer, queen of my song,
list while I woo thee with soft melody
Gone are the cares of life’s busy throng,
beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!

Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me,
beautiful dreamer, out on the sea,
Mermaids are chaunting the wild lorelie;
over the streamlet vapors are borne,

Waiting to fade at the bright coming morn,
beautiful dreamer, beam on my heart
E’en as the morn on the streamlet and sea;
then will all clouds of sorrow depart,

Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!
Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!

I dream of Jeanie with the light brown hair,
Borne, like a vapor, on the summer air
I see her tripping where the bright streams play,
Happy as the daisies that dance on her way.
Many were the wild notes her merry voice would pour,
Many were the blithe birds that warbled them o’er:
Oh! I dream of Jeanie with the light brown hair,
Floating like a vapor, on the soft summer air.

I long for Jeanie with the day dawn smile,
Radiant in gladness, warm with winning guile;
I hear her melodies, like joys gone by,
Sighing round my heart o’er the fond hopes that die:-
Sighing like the night wind and sobbing like the rain,-
Wailing for the lost one that comes not again:
Oh! I long for Jeanie, and my heart bows low,
Never more to find her where the bright waters flow.

I sigh for Jeanie, but her light form strayed
Far from the fond hearts round her native glade;
Her smiles have vanished and her sweet songs flown,
Flitting like the dreams that have cheered us and gone.
Now the nodding wild flowers may wither on the shore
While her gentle fingers will cull them no more:
Oh! I sigh for Jeanie with the light brown hair,
Floating like a vapor, on the soft summer air.

Let us pause in life’s pleasures and count it s 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.

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.

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.
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/s/stephen_foster/hard_times_come_again_no_more_crd.html )
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.

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.

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.
