Lyrics Hank Williams Jr. – Everything’s Okay

My wife’s been sick and the young’ns 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 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 that’s more expense
The durned old mule he tore down the fence
The mortage is due and I can’t pay but we’re still a livin’ so everything’s okay
The cow broke in the field and ate up the beans
The durn rabbits they got the turnip greens
And my mainlaw 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 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 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’re still a livin’ so everything’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.
