►Hard Times Come Again No More, chorus, sung by Nashville Session Players (22 words)
Note: 'Tis is a contraction of "It Is"

'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
Oh hard times come again no more


►Old Folks at Home, or Swanee River, first verse and chorus (42 words)
Note: Swanee is a mis-spelling of the Suwannee River in Georgia and Florida.

Way down upon the Swanee River, Far, far away
That's where my heart is yearning ever, That's where the old folks stay
All up and down the whole creation, Sadly I roam
Still longing for the old plantation, And for the old folks at home
All the world is sad and dreary, Everywhere I roam
Oh, brother, how my heart grows weary, Far from the old folks at home
Stephen Foster lived from 1826 to 1864 and wrote over 200 songs.
