Just Keepin' On - Paul Robeson

In the old

Talkin' things over

Tells you of trouble he’s met

Still we all fight on

Hoping to light on

Something we haven’t found yet

I plot along and I always will

Maybe I’m long but I’m hoping still

Just keepin' on

Weary and slow

Others have gone where I got to go

I am depressed

No time to rest

‘Till I get over the hill

Shoes wearin' thin

Bones growing old

Always I’m in the wind and the cold

Maybe I’ll find

That’s let behind

When I get over the hill

Track’s mighty rough

Hill’s mighty steep

Sometimes I’m tired enough to lie down and sleep

Surely, I must find

Somewhere up the road

A quiet place where I can ease my load

I’m keepin' on

Don’t seem to know

How far I’ve gone or how far I’ll go

Hoping that I’ll

Rest for a while

When I get over the hill

Shoes wearin' thin

Bones growing old

Always I’m in the wind and the cold

Maybe I’ll find

That’s let behind

When I get over the hill

Track’s mighty rough

Hill’s mighty steep

Sometimes I’m tired enough to lie down and sleep

Surely, I must find

Somewhere up the road

A quiet place where I can ease my load

I’m keepin' on

Don’t seem to know

How far I’ve gone or how far I’ll go

Hoping that I’ll

Rest for a while

When I get over the hill
