Emmylou Harris - Farther Along Lyrics
Tempted and tried, we're oft made to wonder
Why it should be thus all day long
While there are others living about us
Never molested though in the wrong
It leaves our home so lonely and drear
Then do we wonder why others prosper
Living so wicked year after year
Farther along we'll know all about it
Farther along we'll understand why
Cheer up my brother, live in the sunshine
We'll understand it all, by and by
Faithful 'til death, said our loving Master
Toils of the road will then seem as nothing
As we sweep through the beautiful gates

Emmylou Harris Farther Along Comments
Gladys Hansen really likes the performance of this trio!zse
Three Angels
I grew up hearing this old hymn at many a church service. My grandmother would sing harmony and a few men in the back with deep voices also sang the bass with the melody. The three part harmony was beautiful. We all knew that despite a world that often makes no sense we would understand by and by as people of faith even when things seem so messed up at times and life was very hard for many of us.
"Live simply and without thinking too much, like a child with his father. Faith without too much thinking works wonders."
~ St. Paisios
Brings tears to my eyes ❤️
Muy
....... irepetible
Linda. You melt my heart
all three beautiful girls
Angel voices.
cant understand half of emy's words
Dolly Parton vc é a mulher cantora do mundo todas suas músicas são muito linda.
Raised it when Emmylou started her part. Wow.
I still listen to their songs. Almost every day.
Momma I miss you😥 Someday Soon I see you again
The words of this song are never more relevant than they are to day in a world where Greed and Corruption are the norm!
" When death has come and taken our loved ones
It leaves our home so lonely and drear
Then do we wonder why others prosper
Living so wicked year after year"
When Politian’s Bankers and Robber Barons rob, plunder, and kill all for more AND MORE money in a world where enough is never enough!
As for the singers this presentation is awesome Dolly as always the perfect artist giving soul and spiritual to everything she does, and the perfect harmony of Linda and Emmylou along with the tender arrangement of the musicians’ makes it as near to Heaven as one can get in this life.
Well said.
Absolutely superior! No one can complete with these ladies when it comes to this kind of music. Love this!!!
That is the truth.
Nothing better than a three-part harmony on a traditional hymn like this. Dolly, Linda, and Emmylou did this so well.
That's for sure.
I agree with you pecvillian and sometimes check Emmylou Harris and the Band on the last waltz
That is an excellent tune also. Emmylou the Sweetest Voice in Nashville.
Sweet melody, this matches the highway men standard
Oh yeah. These ladies could sing really good together.
From 3 of the Best Vocal Beautiful Singers of our Time .
great music
there's just no words that can truly descried these three beautiful women. and not just in their voice and looks.
Beautiful. As usual, Dolly on that high part makes it sound so easy. She makes her songs sound easy but when you try it, you're like - wtf! lol
One of my best country songs
Elikem Kunugbe Not just a country song; it's a Southern gospel song sung throughout the South for generations.
Mary Plaidy, you are exactly right and thank you for saying it.
Farther Along Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt, Emmylou Harris Tempted and tried, we're oft made to wonder
Why it should be thus all the day long
While there are others living about us
Never molested though in the wrong
When death has come and taken our loved ones
It leaves our home so lonely and drear
Then do we wonder why others prosper
Living so wicked year after year
Farther along we'll know all about it
Farther along we'll understand why
Cheer up my brother, live in the sunshine
We'll understand it all by and by
"Faithful 'til death", said our loving Master
A few more days to labor and wait
Toils of the road will then seem as nothing
As we sweep through the beautiful gates
Farther along we'll know all about it
Farther along we'll understand why
Cheer up my brother, live in the sunshine
We'll understand it, all by and by
Yes, we'll understand it, all by and by

Thanks topicwave for giving proper credit to the writer and composer. Love Dolly, but know she didn't write it.
Emmylou Harris
I can play the guitar
My strings will tell me where you are
I will follow, just wait a while
A story must be told
For beauty to unfold
A long, long road
Better than gold
Being together
Playing the emotion
On one broken string
The harmonies are heavenly
Couldn't agree more.
Made me cry...
Simply sublime harmonies. This shows just what a blessing music is. All the best to Linda battling Parkinsons. Your voice will shine on through the ages.
Amo estas cantoras, são as melhores da country music.!
Incredible
Greetings from Dublin Ireland
Mni Wicone water is life. ...
for sure..3 angels for the angel band
voices of three Masters of songs
one day we all are Farther Along
Great simple song. Pure voices. Simple piano with just the right bass notes. No drums, no f*****g violins or organ clutter. Nothing but them. Wonderful!
And a Hammond organ.... :-)
3 "of the worlds" best - some are some more left!
i love Dolly GOSPEL ( BORN GOSPEL)
Perfect reminder for the mess today's world is in. "Farther along we'll know all about it; farther along we'll understand why. Cheer up, my brother, live in the sunshine. We'll understand it all, by and by." Beautifully sung. Thank you for sharing.
+Bob Collins You are very welcome.
heavenly
beautiful song
schitterend
Beautiful song sung by beautiful women
Only Dolly is beautiful....the other two can sing, but they are homely.
Muito lindo gosto de todas as música, Dolly Parton,
