Hank Williams Sr. - Everything's okay songtekst

Je score:

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 las, 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 everthing'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 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..."
