Words
Good news! Good news I bring!
A swallow flew in, started to sing, called out aloud,
Come to the door, hear while I tell what lies in store.
Look in the barn, there in the hay, sweet little lambs, new-born today.
Life will be good, you will do well, plenty to buy, plenty to sell.
You will be rich, your luck is in, nothing to lose, plenty to win.
Yours is a year full of good cheer, all will be well, nothing to fear.
Plenty of grain sitting right here, good-looking wife, happy new year!
Good news I bring!
words by Sheena Phillips
based on a translation of the original Ukrainian provided by Vladimir Morozov

Before you click the "buy" button, please enter the name of your group and select the appropriate size.
The price depends on the number of singers in your group.
This is a single payment for a licence to make as many copies as you
need for your group to rehearse and perform the song. You can also re-print
- for instance, to replace copies that get lost or worn out.
Copies must not be given, lent, hired or sold to any other group.
Orders are normally despatched within 24 hours - not
instantly, because each PDF file is created specially
for the purchaser.
