Farther along we’ll know more about it
Farther along we’ll understand why
Cheer up my brother live in the sunshine
We’ll understand it all by and by
Tempted and tried will oft make you wonder
Why it should be thus all the day long
While there are others living about us
Never molested though in the wrong
When death has found and taken our loved ones
Leaving our home so lonely and drear
Then do we wonder why others prosper
Living so wicked year after year
[1] Farther along we’ll [4] know more about [1] it
Farther along we’ll [2maj] understand [5] why
Cheer up my [1] brother [4] live in the [1] sunshine
We’ll understand it [5] all by and [1] by
Tempted and tried will oft make you wonder
Why it should be thus all the day long
While there are others living about us
Never molested though in the wrong
When death has found and taken our loved ones
Leaving our home so lonely and drear
Then do we wonder why others prosper
Living so wicked year after year
