Rufus W. sings backup vocal to Kate & Anna McGarrigle in a performance of Stephen Foster's "Better Times Are Coming" on a 1991 Columbia Records album of Civil War songs.

Written in a bygone era, but perhaps an appropriate reply to "I'm So Tired of America" -

"There are voices of hope
That are borne on the air
And our land will be freed
From its clouds of despair...

Hurrah, hurrah, hurrah!
Sound the news
From the din of battle booming
Tell the people far and wide
That better times are coming."
