[Verse 1]
[G]I went to the country
just [C]the other day
to [D]see my Uncle Bill
and sort of pass the [G]time away.
I asked him how he'd been
since last [C]he'd passed his way
and he rubbed [D]his chin
and here's what he had to [G]say.
My wife's been sick and
the [C]youngin's too
and [D]I'm darn near down with the [G]flu.
The cow's gone dry
and them hens [C]won't lay
But we're [D]still a -livin'
so everything's [G]okay
The hogs took the colliery
and they've all [C]done died
The [D]bees got mad and they [G]left the hive
The weevils got the corn
and the [C]rain rotted the hay
But [D]we're still a -livin'
[G]so everything's okay
The porch rotted down,
that's [C]more expense
And the [D]darned old mule,
he tore down the [G]fence
The mortgage is due and I [C]can't pay
But [D]we're still a -livin',
[G]so everything's okay
The cow broke in the field
and eat [C]up the beans
The [D]darn rabbits,
they got the turnip [G]greens
And my maw -in -law
just moved [C]in to stay
But we're [D]still a -livin',
[G]so everything's okay
My land's so poor, so [C]hard and yeller
You have to [D]sit on a sack of fertilizer
to [G]raise an umbrella
And it rains out here nearly [C]every day
But [D]we're still a -livin'
so [G]everything's okay
The well's gone dry
and I have [C]to tote the water
Up [D]in the spring about a mile [G]and a quarter
My helper, quit for the [C]lack of pay
But we're [D]still a -livin'
so [G]everything's okay
The house, it leaks, it [C]needs a new top
When it [D]rains, it wets everything we [G]got
The chimney fell down just yester[C]day
But [D]we're still a -living,
[G]so everything's okay
The cornmeal's gone
and the [C]meat's run out
Got [D]nothing to kill to put
in the smoke[G]house
The preacher's coming Sunday
to [C]spend the day
But [D]we're still a -living,
[G]so everything's okay
The can stuff's spoiled,
else the [C]jars got broke
And [D]all we got left is one [G]old billy goat
We're gonna have a new baby
about the [C]first of May
But we're [D]still a -livin',
so everything's [G]okay
My crop, it rotted in [C]the ground
I [D]asked for another loan,
but the banker turned [G]me down
But we're still a -livin'
and we're pray[C]in' for a better day
So, [D]after all, everything's
in pretty [G]good shape[D]
[G]You
