Living

Jog Along

by Freeman E. Miller 1864–1951

From Oklahoma Sunshine (1905)

Living

Jog along, my brother,
Jog along, I say;
There's no cozy corner
For one that wants to play;
Don't stop to whistle,--
Whistle good and strong,
But be careful that you always
Jog along.

Jog along, my brother,
Jog along, I say;
Keep yourself in motion,--
You needn't stop or stay;
Someone will hear you
And will help your song,
If you do your part and always
Jog along.

Jog along, my brother,
Jog along I say,
Doing God good service
Till the final day;
For He will crown you
After all the wrong,
With his choicest blessings, if you
Jog along.
