Better Times Are Coming
Hurrah, hurrah, hurrah
Sound the news from the din of battle booming
Tell the people far and wide that better times are coming
There are voices of hope that are borne on the air
And our land will be freed from its clouds of despair

And good times, good times are now coming on
Sound the news from the din of battle booming
Tell the people far and wide that better times are coming
Abram Lincoln has the army and the navy in his hands
While Seward keeps our honor bright abroad in foreign lands
And Stanton is a man, who is sturdy as a rock
With brave men to back him up and stand the battle's shock
Hurrah, hurrah, hurrah
Sound the news from the din of battle booming
Tell the people far and wide…
