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