Hank Williams - Everything's Okay lyrics

Recorded by hank williams, sr. Words and music by hank williams, sr. I [g] went to the country - just [c] the other day To see [d7] my uncle bill and sorta [g] pa** the time away I asked him how he'd been - since [c] last, i'd pa**ed 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 k** 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."
