Farther Along — Linda Ronstadt

Traditional, arranged by John Starling & Emmylou Harris

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

When death has come and taken our loved ones It leaves a 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 Farther along we'll understand why Cheer up my brother, live in the sunshine We'll understand it all by and by

Faithful til death, said our loving master A few more days to labor and wait Toils of the road will then seem as nothing As we sweep through the beautiful gates

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 Yes we'll understand it all by and by
