Şarkı sözleri : Hank Williams. Everything's Okay.

I went to the country - just the other day
To see my uncle Bill and sorta pass the time away
I asked him how he'd been - since last, I'd passed his way
He rubbed his chin - here's what he had to say.

My wife's been sick - the youngns, too
And I'm durn near - down with the flu
The cow's gone dry - and them hens won't lay
But we're still a-livin - so everything'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 everything'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 everything'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 everything's okay.

My lands 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 - were still a-livin - so everything's okay.

The wells 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 everthing's okay.

The house it leaks - it needs a new top
When it rains - it wets everthing we got
The chimney fell down - just yesterday
But - we're still a-livin - so everything's okay.

The corn meals gone and the meats run out
Got nothin' to kill to put in the smokehouse
The preachers comin' Sunday - to spend the day
But - we're still a-livin - so everything's okay.

The canned stuffs spoiled - else the jars 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 everythings 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, everthing's in purty good shape.
