Lyrics Just Keepin' On - Paul Robeson

Just Keepin' On

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
