Joe Offer	DTStudy: A Hundred Years from Now (7)	A Hundred Years from Now	28 Feb 21
Bev Praver found this song in the Digital Tradition. The DT didn't have a tune, so Bev made up her own and added a verse. Anybody know of a proper melody, and any background information? A HUNDRED YEARS FROM NOW (E. Spencer in 1899) I'd like to see this earth again A hundred years from now And walk and talk with living men A hundred years from now I'd like to see how farming's done How business is and how it's run How votes are cast and office won A hundred years from now A hundred years from now A hundred years from now A hundred years from now A hundred years from now Of course there'll be no wood to burn A hundred years from now They'll be some tricks of trade to learn A hundred years from now There'll be big towns and steeples high And buildings that will scrape the sky And stores where all the world could buy A hundred years from now There'll be machines to shuck the corn A hundred years from now Machines to nurse the babe that's born A hundred years from now Machines that fly and walk by day Machines that work, machines that play Perhaps machines to preach and pray A hundred years from now filename[ HUNDYRS RG
