Farther Along / Billy In the Low Ground

Adrienne Young / Broken Drought

Tempted and tried we?re oft made to wonder

Why it should be thus all the day long

While there are others living about us

Never molested though in the wrong

Farther along

We?ll know all about it

Farther along we?ll understand why

Cheery up my brother,

Live in the sunshine

We?ll understand it

All by and by

When death has come and taken our loved ones

Leaving a hole so weary and drear

Then do we wonder why other prosper

Living so wicked year after year

Farther along

We?ll know all about it

Farther along we?ll understand why

Cheery up my brother,

Live in the sunshine

We?ll understand it

All by and by

Faithful to listen to our loving master

Just a few more days to labor and wait

Toils of the road will then seem as nothing

As we sweep through those beautiful gates

Farther along

We?ll know all about it

Farther along we?ll understand why

Cheery up my brother,

Live in the sunshine

We?ll understand it

All by and by
