We have jogged along together
Through fair and stormy weather,
John and I.

We've had our ups and downs,
We've had our smiles and frowns,
John and I.

We've had sickness, we've had health,
We've had everything but wealth,
John and I.

We've had good times that were snappy
When we both were very happy,
John and I.

We have had some sadness too
When we both felt very blue,
John and I.

Just thirty-nine harvest moons we've seen;
Some years brought fat, some years brought lean
To John and I.

We've seen sorrow, we've seen joy
Trying to raise a girl and boy,
John and I.

So we've climbed the hill together hand in hand,
And we'll journey on together to the better land,
John and I.
