Tempted and tried we're oft made to wonder why
could it be thus all the day long
When 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
Cheer up my brother live in the sunshine we'll
understand it all by and by
When death has come and taken our loved ones it
leaving our home so lonely and drear
Then do we wonder why others prosper living so
wicked year after year
Farther along we'll know all about it...
