I.
The moon shines bright
on our white church tonight,
The ladies are happy
and gay.
The money is coming and
the debt is going out,
While the men are
whistling all the day.
The old folks are happy
for the debt will soon be paid,
So soon we'll rest in
the shade.
The time has come when
the debt will all be paid,
Then the Ladies' Aid
will be so glad.
CHORUS.
Weep no more, dear
sister,
Oh, weep no more, I
pray!
We'll sing one song for
the dollar we have made,
Then we'll wander to
our homes far away.
II.
Just think of the
doughnuts, the cookies and the pies,
We've labored so gladly
to make;
The brownies, the
'kerchiefs, balloons and ice-cream, too,
We have sold to paint
the church again.
We've done our best and
we think we have done well;
We hope you with us
will agree.
And now we'll say that
we wish to thank each one
Who has helped us to
succeed so well.
CHORUS.
III.
Oh! The world looks
bright and our hearts are light and gay,
We've done the very
best we can do.
When a woman wills she
will always find a way,
And I am sure you think
so, too.
And now, goodbye, for
our entertainment's o'er;
Our dollars are shining
and bright;
Our trouble's o'er,
hard times will come no more;
So we'll bid you all a
fond good night.
CHORUS.
