Everythings Okay

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."
