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