In Life My Friends

In life my friends you pass along

You need not grieve when things go wrong

Sit down in peace and sing a song

Till all comes right

You've heard it said go do your best

Though life's suns inks to the west

Tis better far to take a rest

Till all comes right

If you're troubled with some belief

Or feel the pangs of coming grief

The wind and waves bring relief

Till all comes right

Instead of climbing a craggy cliff

Or sailing in some dangerous skiff

Just lie and breathe with an easy whiff

Till all comes right

If things go rough and you're in a squeeze

Just hold your breath and take your ease

Do the very things you please

Till all comes right

Be not deceived by the toiler's thrift

Get what you can as nature's gift

Let all things take an easy drift

Till all comes right

Rewards all come in the present slice

So don't look fro future paradise

Take heaven now is my advice

And you wil be right

Throw to the wind belief in hell

Or be called a fool or infidel

Bury your creed in an oyster shell

Then you are right
