hen Trouble is a -comin


When Trouble is a-comin
Like a regiment a-drummin'.
Listenl
Listen!
An you'll hear a song a-hummin' -
Light is in the blue
OF the heaven over you:
Never was a daisy
But it found drop o. devil"
When bitter thorns are springin'
Where the rose bells should be ringin
Listen!
Listen!
An you'll hear the sweetest singin' -
Light is overhead
Where the shadows thick are shed
Never was sunbeam
But it kissed rose to red!'
