“Wait Till The Sun Shines, Nellie” is the Peace Song for the Day, as chosen by Susanna, Duchess of Peace. You can find the words to this golden oldie, Barbershop song at Rise Up Singing on page 82.
****************************************
What is it that makes this Barbershop Quartet song a sing-a-long, folk song? Probably, the way it expresses the hope of a better day, something that people who love peace and justice need to hold on to during these trying times.
Excerpt:
Wait til the sun shines, Nellie
When the clouds go drifting by
We will be happy, Nellie
Don’t you sigh…
