Everything's Okay (Album Version) - Hank Williams But 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
Now my wife's been sick the youngns, too And I'm durn near down with the flu
The cow's gone dry and hens won't lay But we're still a living so everything's okay
The cow broke in the field and eat up the beans The durn rabbits they got the turnip greens
My ma in law just moved in to stay But we're still alivin' 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 living 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 living 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 living 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 living 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 here so everything's okay
The corn meals gone and the meats run out And got nothin' to kill to put in the smokehouse The preachers comin' Sunday to spend the day But we're still a living so everything's okay
The canned stuffs spoiled else the jars got broke 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 living 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 living and we're prayin' for better days So after all, everthing's in purty fare shape
The corn meals gone and the meats run out And got nothin' to kill to put in the smokehouse The preachers comin' Sunday to spend the day But we're still a living so everything's okay
