Текст песни Everything's Okay - 2019 - Remaster - Hank Williams

We got a thing here to start off with this morning
A lot of you folks have been requesting
I recorded this and my half-brother rec-
I mean I wrote it, my half-brother recorder it
MGM Luke the Drifter
It's a little, huh, it's got a lot of sense in it
If you ever lived on a farm you'll probably agree with me
Think all outside of that, everything's in a pretty fair shape

Well, I went to the country and it's 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 and here's what he had to say

"Now my wife's been sick and the youngins too and
I'm durn near down with the flu
The cow's gone dry and the hens won't lay
But we're still a-livin' so everything's okay

The cow broke in the field and eat up the beans
The doggone rabbits, they got the turnip greens
My maw in-law just moved in to stay
But we're still a-livin' so everything's okay

My land's so poor, so hard and yeller
You have to sit on a sack of fertilizer to raise an umbrella
And it rains out here nearly every day, but
We're still a-livin' so everything'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 everything's okay

The porch rotted down and that's more expense
The darned old mule has tore down the fence
The mortgage is due and I can't pay
But we're still a-livin' so everything'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 everything's okay

The house, it leaks, it needs a new top
When it rains it wets everything we got
The chimney fell down just the other day
But we still here, so everything's okay

The corn meal's gone and the meat runs out
Ain't 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 everything's okay

The canned stuff's spoiled else the jar's got broke
All we got left is one old William goat
We're gonna have a new baby about the first of May
But we're still a-livin', so everything'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, everything's in pretty fair shape"

It was here a minute guys, get home sick
I ain't married in my life, it's all sit around here
Old friend is gonna get in the floor
I did too, it's uncommonly okay this morning
