Ryan, Derek - Better Times A Comin Lyrics
Well the cows gone dry the hens won't lay no place I can borrow
I give the landlord all the news and the rent comes due tomorrow
There's lots of money in the bank they say that's where they keep it
Not only wouldn't they loan me some they wouldn't let me see it
Put more water in the soup there's better times are coming
Well Mary Lou could pull a plow if only I would let her
She's twice as strong as any ox but looks a little better
I didn't kiss that Mary Lou but once and then I had to leave her
She made my collar get too high and start the burning fever
So pick away on the old banjo keep that guitar strumming
Put more water in the soup there's better times are coming
Yeah!
My rooster used to chase the hens he just kept a getting thinner
He'd run himself to death so I brought him in for dinner
Yes the cotton crops are pretty poor the weeds are really growing
I need a woman pretty fast to help me with the hoeing
So pick away on the old banjo keep that guitar strumming
Put more water in the soup there's better times are coming
So pick away on the old banjo keep that guitar strumming
Put more water in the soup there's better times are coming
Better times are coming

Derek that is awesome XXX
Keep her lit boy! Good tapping song
♥♥♥
Derek is so talented. I love his songs.
Pleased to have discovered Derek this weekend. Clearly he knows how to sell a song, and his selections are great. Would love to hear Derek's take on the songs of Mary Chapin Carpenter. Greetings from the Heartland of Ohio.
Cela donne envie de danser
En danse country cela doit être chouette
Ouah quand je pense qu'il va venir en France a craponne hélas trop loin pour moi la chance ceux qui seront pas très loin
the best ever 👍👍
Derek Ryan needs to seriously bow to Jimmy Martin and Jim & Jesse who originally launched this song. He does well to follow in their trailblazing footsteps in bluegrass music. One thing about those early fellows in bluegrass...they never relied on good looks to get them famous but they were stylish men who crafted their music more than their popularity factor based on sex appeal. This is important to create quality. Though looks do seem to sell just about anything good or bad. ...Derek, you're a hot looking stud...now tend to more quality in your music...we can all see your looks just fine...let your music be your introduction, not your sex appeal. ...I also wish I looked like you because I'd take it for what it's worth and run myself into one heck of an interesting and exciting life...but I'm not an artist and musician and singer like you...and you need to add class and quality to your blessing of good looks. I wish you well. You're very talented.
A wonderfully positive song
Sure glad I found you Derek, love listening to you anytime, also in a lousy mood, You fix that. You are the BEST!!

Need you to come to the States and teach these so called country singers what country music really is. Love your music Derik.
He's just the best.... voice is just fantastic, the best, worth his weight in GOLD. xxxx
I think he needs to be on the radio to set the tune for the others who have anything else on their minds. I'm quite done with all the drinkin,lieing, cheating and sleeping around songs.
Good country Music. Wish we had someone like Derek in Sweden.
God country music
Irish sound with Great singer..
I loove bluegrass and have heard this song by a lot of singers, this is the best one ever. I'm teaching a clogging routine to this. Will be looking for more of his music.
Wow! I loved it! Derek is such a wonderful talent, and I thank him! I just subbed to this great channel. God bless, Bother Charlie (Charlie)

GREAT SONG GREAT SINGER GREAT MUSIC BRILLLL JIVE DJ JOHNNY LEE 26yrs aDJ IRELAND
love his music and bluegrass in it as i love love me all the bluegrass
DOD is a great vocalist but most of the time he sings other people's songs. I think he did promote Derek Ryan at one time, but it was still the latter's songs.
