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 dayTo see [d7] my uncle bill and sorta [g] pass the time awayI asked him how hed been - since [c] last, Id passed his wayHe rubbed his [d7] chin - heres what he had [g] to say.My wifes been sick - the [c] youngns, tooAnd Im [d7] durn near - down [g] with the fluThe cows gone dry - and them [c] hens wont layBut - [d7] were still a-livin - so ever-[g] things okay.The hogs took the cholera and theyve all done diedThe bees got mad - and they left the hiveThe weevils got the corn and the rain rotted the hayBut - were still a-livin - so everthings okay.The porch rotted down - thats more expenseThe durned old mule - he tore down the fenceThe mortgage is due and - I cant payBut - were still a-livin - so everthings okay.The cow broke in the field and eat up the beansThe durn rabbits - they got the turnip greensAnd my ma-in-law just moved in to stayBut - were still a-livin - so everthings okay.My lands so poor - so hard and yellerYou have to set on a sack of fetilizer to raise an umbrellerAnd it rains out here - nearly ever dayBut - were still a-livin - so everthings okay.The wells gone dry and I have to tote the waterUp from the spring - about a mile and a quarterMy helper, he quit - for the lack of payBut - were still a-livin - so everthings okay.The house it leaks - it needs a new topWhen it rains - it wets everthing we gotThe chimney fell down - just yesterdayBut - were still a-livin - so everthings okay.The corn meals gone and the meats run outGot nothin to kill to put in the smokehouseThe preachers comin sunday - to spend the dayBut - were still a-livin - so everthings okay.The canned stuffs spoiled - else the jars got brokeAnd all we got left is one old billy goatWere gonna have a new baby about the first of mayBut - were still a-livin - so everthings okay.My crop it rotted - in the groundI asked for another loan but the banker turned me downBut - were still a-livin and were prayin for better daysSo - after all, everthings in purty good shape.
