Better days are coming by and by
Don't you get down hearted, don't you cry
Troubles will be over, all our joys come over
Better days are coming by and by
Don't you know better days are coming by and by
Don't you get down hearted, don't you cry
Sorrows will be over, all our joys come over
Better days are coming by and by
It can't be this way always
A train must come, a train must come
There must be some brighter days
We'll have fun, we'll have fun, yeah
Better days are coming by and by
Don't you get down hearted, don't you cry
Troubles will be over, all our joys come over
Better days are coming by and by
Things get rough, your friends get few
Don't you cry, don't you cry
Change your flock, we'll come for you
We'll get high, we'll get high, yeah
Better days are coming by and by
Don't you get down hearted, hearted, don't you cry
Troubles will be over, all our joys come over
Better days are coming by and by
Don't you know better days are coming by and by
So don't you get down hearted, don't you cry
Troubles will be over
