Verse:
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:
 
Chorus:
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.
Thru 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 trav'lin' along, Singin' a song, Side by Side.
