| If you strike a thorn or rose, Keep a-goin'! If it hails or if it snows, Keep a-goin'! 'Taint no use to sit an' whine When the fish ain't on your line; Bait your hook an' keep a tryin' - Keep a-goin'! When the weather kills your crop, Keep a-goin'! Though 'tis work to reach the top, Keep a-goin'! S'pose you're out o' ev'ry dime, Gittin' broke ain't any crime; Tell the world you're feelin' prime - Keep a-goin'! | When it looks like all is up, Keep a-goin'! Drain the sweetness from the cup, Keep a-goin'! See the wild birds on the wing, Hear the bells that sweetly ring, When you feel like sighin', sing - Keep a-goin'! -Frank L. Stanton |
