KEEP INCHIN' ALONG.
Do' de load be mighty hebby
An' de road be 'ceedin' ruff,
Do' yer lim's be mighty tired
An' de paf be dark enuf,
You still mus' keep a-singin'
To cheer yo' on de road,
“Fur de lane mus' hab a turnin'”
An' lighter grow de load.
Keep inchin' along.
An' de road be 'ceedin' ruff,
Do' yer lim's be mighty tired
An' de paf be dark enuf,
You still mus' keep a-singin'
To cheer yo' on de road,
“Fur de lane mus' hab a turnin'”
An' lighter grow de load.
Keep inchin' along.
What do' de load is hebby
An' de burden mek yo' sigh,
Jes' ben' yer back a little—
'Twill be better bime-by;
De cloud's a-hangin' hebby
Ez yo' journey on de way,
But dar's a silber linin';
You'll see it, too, sum day.
Keep inchin' along.
An' de burden mek yo' sigh,
Jes' ben' yer back a little—
'Twill be better bime-by;
De cloud's a-hangin' hebby
Ez yo' journey on de way,
But dar's a silber linin';
You'll see it, too, sum day.
Keep inchin' along.

'Cause when yo' see de sunshine
Yo' think erbout de rain,
An' when de rain's a-pourin'
De sun will shine again.
So tiz wid all de troubles
Dat dis ol' worl' kin gib—
Do' it rain to-day, to-morrow
'Twill shine ez shorz yo' lib.
Keep inchin' along.
Yo' think erbout de rain,
An' when de rain's a-pourin'
De sun will shine again.
So tiz wid all de troubles
Dat dis ol' worl' kin gib—
Do' it rain to-day, to-morrow
'Twill shine ez shorz yo' lib.
Keep inchin' along.
Bime-by de journey's ober
An' heben will hebe in sight,
An' fur all de sighs an' moanin's
De Lord will mek it right.
Fur de road is gittin' shorter,
An' lighter gits de song,
An' yo' mos' kin hear de angels
Ez dey sings a welkum hom'.
Keep inchin' along.
An' heben will hebe in sight,
An' fur all de sighs an' moanin's
De Lord will mek it right.
Fur de road is gittin' shorter,
An' lighter gits de song,
An' yo' mos' kin hear de angels
Ez dey sings a welkum hom'.
Keep inchin' along.
