Thread Name: Lyr/Chords Req: Up on the CP Line (Bill Morrissey)
Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: Hard Times on the CP Line

Ely,
The lyrics are in the DigiTrad. "Hard Times Come Again No More".The music can be found on the Levy Library site. It was written by Stephen Foster in 1866 but I have found a vey similar version attributed to an English farmer in 1866 (anonymous) who composed it while paralyzed and burst into song when cured. Either plagiarism or the folk process in action, you decide. I will post his lyrics here when I have a little time.
