Lyrics copy/pasted from lyricsbox.com. Edited by me for accuracy.
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 have trouble 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 all belief in hell
or be called a fool or infidel
Bury your creeds in an oyster shell
then you are right
