Lyrics

  1. Ev’ry road thro’ life is a long long road
    Fill’d with joys and sorrows, too
    As you journey on how your heart will yearn
    For the things most dear to you
    With wealth and love ’tis so
    But onward we must go

Chorus
Keep right on to the end of the road
Keep right on to the end
Tho’ the way be long, let your heart be strong
Keep right on round the bend
Tho’ you’re tired and weary
Still journey on till you come to your happy abode
Where all you love you’ve been dreaming of
Will be there at the end of the road

  1. With a big stout heart to a long steep hill
    We may get there with a smile
    With a good kind thought and an end in view
    We may cut short many a mile
    So let courage ev’ry day
    Be your guiding star alway
