Farther Along

Hank Snow

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's 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...
