I [G] went to the country - just [C] the other day To see [D7] my Uncle Bill and sorta [G] pass the time away I asked him how he'd been - since [C] last, I'd passed his way He rubbed his [D7] chin - here's what he had [G] to say.
"My wife's been sick - the [C] young'ns, too And I'm [D7] durn near - down [G] with the flu The cow's gone dry - and them [C] hens won't lay But - [D7] we're still a-livin' - so EVER'-[G] THING'S Okay.
The hogs took the cholera and they've all done died The bees got mad - and they left the hive The weevils got the corn and the rain rotted the hay But - we're still a-livin' - so EVER'THING'S Okay.
The porch rotted down - that's more expense The durned old mule - he tore down the fence The mortgage is due and - I can't pay But - we're still a-livin' - so EVER'THING'S Okay.
The cow broke in the field and eat up the beans The durn rabbits - they got the turnip greens And my Ma-in-law just moved in to stay But - we're still a-livin' - so EVER'THING'S Okay.
My land's so poor - so hard and "yeller" You have to set on a sack of fetilizer to raise an "umbreller" And it rains out here - nearly ever' day But - we're still a-livin' - so EVER'THING'S Okay.
The well's gone dry and I have to tote the water Up from the spring - about a mile and a quarter My helper, he quit - for the lack of pay But - we're still a-livin' - so EVER'THING'S Okay.
The house it leaks - it needs a new top When it rains - it wets ever'thing we got The chimney fell down - just yesterday But - we're still a-livin' - so EVER'THING'S Okay.
The corn meals gone and the meat's run out Got nothin' to kill to put in the smokehouse The preacher's comin' Sunday - to spend the day But - we're still a-livin' - so EVER'THING'S Okay.
The canned stuff's spoiled - else the jar's got broke And all we got left is one old Billy goat We're gonna have a new baby about the first of May But - we're still a-livin' - so EVER'THING'S Okay.
My crop it rotted - in the ground I asked for another loan but the banker turned me down But - we're still a-livin' and we're prayin' for better days So - after all, ever'thing's in purty good shape."
