I [g] went to the country - just [c] the other day

To see [d7] my uncle bill and sorta [g] pass the time away

I asked him how hed been - since [c] last, Id passed his way

He rubbed his [d7] chin - heres what he had [g] to say.



"my wifes been sick - the [c] youngns, too

And Im [d7] durn near - down [g] with the flu

The cows gone dry - and them [c] hens wont lay

But - [d7] were still a-livin - so ever-[g] things okay.



The hogs took the cholera and theyve all done died

The bees got mad - and they left the hive

The weevils got the corn and the rain rotted the hay

But - were still a-livin - so everthings okay.



The porch rotted down - thats more expense

The durned old mule - he tore down the fence

The mortgage is due and - I cant pay

But - were still a-livin - so everthings 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 - were still a-livin - so everthings okay.



My lands 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 - were still a-livin - so everthings okay.



The wells 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 - were still a-livin - so everthings okay.



The house it leaks - it needs a new top

When it rains - it wets everthing we got

The chimney fell down - just yesterday

But - were still a-livin - so everthings okay.



The corn meals gone and the meats run out

Got nothin to kill to put in the smokehouse

The preachers comin sunday - to spend the day

But - were still a-livin - so everthings okay.



The canned stuffs spoiled - else the jars got broke

And all we got left is one old billy goat

Were gonna have a new baby about the first of may

But - were still a-livin - so everthings okay.



My crop it rotted - in the ground

I asked for another loan but the banker turned me down

But - were still a-livin and were prayin for better days

So - after all, everthings in purty good shape."
