THE TIME IS COMIN'.

(Tune— The "Battle pi Sheriff muir,"). The time is comin' slow, but sure* (I ■wish- it wad come faster i) ' When we will le.vel rich an' puir— ! The wage-slave an' the master. The landlord an' the millionaire When that day cornea will get a scare— i Hoo they will stare, an' in despair Will beat the air, an' stamp the flair, An' tear their Kair, an' curse an' swea.r r Wi' thochts o' their disaster ! The money-lords^-thae worthy cniels-^-They swear they'll emigrate; man ,*. Rake in' their gowd, an' bid's f areweel. An" leave us' to oor fate; man'. Hoo they will rin to catch' a train, Or catch a ship to cross the main ' But Lord I the din, when ance they fin' They canna win I For deil a train That day will rin, an' sailors— nane The seas will navigate, man. We'U laugh' to see their faces ttirawn As, conscience-stricken sair, : man, They come to gi'e's the tools *n' lan', An' wark their richtfu' share, monji Ilk siller'd rogue an' titled fule Will see 'twill ser' them better still— Whate'er their skill— wi richt guid will The lan' to till, o'er vale an' hill, Or wark in mill, for common weafl, A' freed f rae every' care, man'.
