The Dubliners - Further Along lyrics

Further along we'll know all about it Further along we'll understand why Cheer up my brother, live in the sunshine We'll understand it all, by and by Tempted and tried, we're oft made to wonder Why it should be thus all our days long While there are others living about us Never molested though in the wrong Often I wonder why I must journey Over a road so rugged and steep While there are others living in comfort When with the lost I labour and weep When d**h has come and taken our loved ones Leaving our home so lone' and so drear' Then do we wonder why others prosper Living as sinners year after year Further along we'll know all about it Further along we'll understand why Cheer up my brother, live in the sunshine We'll understand it all, by and by
