Everything's Okay Lyrics - Hank Williams

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 young'ns, 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 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 everything's Ok 

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 everything'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 everything'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 everything'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 everything'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."
