In Life My Friend (Live)
[Verse 1]
In life, my friends, you pass along
You need not grieve when things go wrong
You've heard it said, go do your best
Though life's sun sinks to the west
If you get troubled by some belief
Or feel the pangs of coming grief
The wind and waves bring relief
Till all comes right, then take your
Ease
[Verse 2]
Be not deceived by the toiler's thrift
Get what you can as nature's gift
Rewards all come in the present slice
So don't look for future paradise
Throw to the wind all belief in hell
Or be called a fool or infidel
In life, my friends, you pass along
You need not grieve when things go wrong
You've heard it said, go do your best
Though life's sun sinks to the west
If you get troubled by some belief
Or feel the pangs of coming grief
[?]
Just hold your breath, then take your
Ease
[Verse 1]
[Verse 2]
Just bury your creed in an oyster shell
And you'll be right
[Verse 1]
Oh, it's getting crowded in here, huh?
