There's a good time coming, boys
A good time coming
Though we may not live to see the day
The Earth shall glisten in the ray
Of a good time coming
Cannon balls may aid the truth
But thoughts a weapon stronger
We'll win the battle with its aid
Wait a little longer.
There's a good time coming, boys
A Good time coming
There's a good time coming, boys
Wait a little longer.
There's a good time coming, boys
A good time coming
Little children shall not toil
Above or underneath the soil
In the good time coming
But shall play in healthful fields
Till limbs and mind grow stronger
And everyone shall read and write
Wait a little longer.
There's a good time coming, boys
A Good time coming
There's a good time coming, boys
Wait a little longer
There's a good time coming, boys
A good time coming
War in all men's eye shall be
Amongst above all iniquity
In the good time coming
Nations shall not quarrel then
To prove which is the stronger
Nor slaughter men for glory's sake
Wait a little longer.
There's a good time coming, boys
A Good time coming
There's a good time coming, boys
Wait a little longer
