When you're down and out
Lift up your head and shout
There's gonna be a great day
Angels in the sky
Promise that by and by
There's gonna be a great day
Gabriel will warn you
Some early morn
You will hear his horn (diddy diddy)
It's not far away
Hold up your head and say
There's gonna be a great day
Great day
