Father alone
Knows all about it
Father alone
Understands why
Cheer up my brother
Live in the sunshine
You'll understand it
Oh by and by
Tempted and tried
We often wonder
Why it should be
All the day long
While there are others
Livin' all about me
Never molested
Though they are wrong
Father alone
Knows all about it
Father alone
Understands why
Cheer up my brother
Live in the sunshine
You'll understand it
Oh by and by
Oh Father alone
Knows all about it
Father alone
Understands why
Cheer up my brother
Live in the sunshine
Understand it
By and by
Yes Father alone
He knows all about it
Father alone
Understands why
Cheer up my brother
Live in the sunshine
Understand it
By and by
When death has come and
Taken our loved ones
Leavin' our home
Lonely and drear
Hey when we wonder
How others prosper Lord
Livin' wicked
Year after year
Woah Father alone
He knows all about it
Father alone
Understands why
Cheer up my brother
Live in the sunshine
You'll understand it
By and by
Yes Father alone
Oh
He knows
Father alone
Understand why
Cheer up my brother brother
Brother live in the sunshine
You'll understand it
By and by
