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
