When you're down and out,
lift up your head and shout
"There's gonna be a great day",
Angels in the sky promised that by and by,
there's gonna be a great day.
Gabriel will warn you, some early morn
you will hear his horn, rooty-tuttin'
It's not far away lift up your head and say
"There's gonna be a great day,
there's gonna be a great day."
