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 last 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 EVER'-THING'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 EVER'THING'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 EVER'THING'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 EVER'THING'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 EVER'THING'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 EVER'THING'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 EVER'THING'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 EVER'THING'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 EVER'THING'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."
