_ Our next song is by Henry C.
Work, and it's a wonderful satirical piece,
very funny, comical song, popular both north and south,
but with northern troops [D] is kind of interesting.
He was a northern composer, written around 1863.
It sometimes is known as the Day of Jubilo,
but the actual title is called Kingdom Coming. _
Kingdom Coming.
