Dubliners Further Along
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 death 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
