See that sun in the morning
Peeking over the hill
I'll bet you're sure it always has
And sure it always will
That's how I feel about someone
How somebody feels about me
We're sure we love each other
That's the way we'll always be
Oh, we ain't got a barrel of money
Maybe we're ragged and funny
But we'll travel along
Singing a song side by side
Don't know what's comin' tomorrow
Maybe it's trouble and sorrow
But we'll travel the road
Sharing our load side by side
Through all kinds of weather
What if the sky should fall
Just as long as we're together
It doesn't matter at all
When they've all had their quarrels and parted
We'll be the same as we started
Just a-traveling along
Singing a song side by side
We're all hunting for something
Something we don't know what
'Cause none of us are satisfied
With things we know we've got
We all forget about moonlight,
As soon as we've given our vow
But we'd all be so happy
If we'd start and sing right now
Oh, we ain't got a barrel of money
Maybe we're ragged and funny
But we'll travel along
Singing a song side by side
Don't know what's comin' tomorrow
Maybe it's trouble and sorrow
But we'll travel the road
Sharing our load side by side

As recorded by LEE MORSE, March 16th 1927:
See that sun in the morning
Peekin' over the hill
I'll bet you're sure it always has
And sure it always will
That's how I feel about someone
Somebody feels about me
We're sure we love each other
And that's the way we'll always be
Oh, we ain't got a barrel of money
Maybe we're ragged and funny
But we'll travel along
Singin' a song, side by side
Don't know what's comin' tomorrow
Maybe it's trouble and sorrow
But we'll travel along
Singin' a song, side by side
Through all kinds of weather
What if the sky should fall
Just long as we're together
It doesn't matter at all
When they've all had their quarrels and parted
We'll be the same as we started
Just travelin' along
Singin' a song, side by side
Oh, we ain't got a barrel of money
Maybe we're ragged and funny
But we'll travel along
Singin' a song, side by side
Don't know what's comin' tomorrow
Maybe it's trouble and sorrow
But we'll travel the road
Sharin' our load, side by side
Through all kinds of weather
What if the sky should fall
As long as we're together
It doesn't matter at all
And if he goes and takes him a notion
To jump and drown in the ocean
It's sink or it's swim
Oh, it's me or it's him, side by side
