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