When you are doing
The best you can
And the one you loving
Don't understand
Don't get discouranged
But keep-a tryin' and travel on

You're bound to worry
Ev'ry now and then
But keep on trying
You are bound to win
Don't get discouranged
But keep-a tryin' and travel on

If you stay worried
Most all the time
Just try laughing instead of cryin'
Don't get discouraged
But keep-a tryin' and travel on

'Yas, yas'

(instrumental) slide guitar

Yo' darkest hour is just before day
That's when your sorrows
Will vanish away
Don't get discouranged
But keep-a tryin' and travel on

When you get worried
And feel so blue
Remember this song, I
Have sung to you
Don't get discouranged
But keep-a tryin' and travel on.
