The Dubliners - Further Along

Further Along

Further along we'll know all about it
Further along we'll understand why
Cheer up my brothers live in the sunshine
We'll understand it all by and by

Temped 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 death has come and taken our loved once
Leaving our homes so lone and so drear
Then do we wonder why others propser
Living as sinners year after year

Further along we'll know all about it
Further along we'll understand why
Cheer up my brothers live in the sunshine
We'll understand it all by and by
We'll understand it all by and by
