Pretty Soon



O, better tunes er comin’
     Pretty soon;
Machinery will be hummin’
     Pretty soon.
Jest let yewr heart grow brighter,
An’ treat your neighbor whiter,
‘Cuz things er comin’ brighter
     Pretty soon.

Our sorrer will be over
     Pretty soon;
We’ll be a-mowin’ clover
     Pretty soon.
Our chimneys will be smokin’,
Yew’ll hear the hammer strokin’,
We’ll all be laffin’, jokin’,
     Pretty soon.
