Better Times Are Coming Kate & Anna McGarrigle

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
For brave men and true men to battle have gone
And good times, good times are now coming on

Hurrah, hurrah, hurrah
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 that better times are coming

Now McClellan is a leader and we'll let him take away
For a man in his position, he should surely have his way
Our nation's honor'd Scott, he has trusted to his might
Your faith in McClellan put for we are sure he's right
