I went to the country just the other day [00:00:12]
To see my uncle Bill and sorta pass the time away [00:00:15]
I asked him how he'd been since last I'd passed his way [00:00:18]
He rubbed his chin here's what he had to say [00:00:21]
My wife's been sick the young ones too [00:00:25]
And I'm darn near down with the flu [00:00:28]
The cow's gone dry and them hens won't lay [00:00:31]
But we're still aliving so everything's okay [00:00:33]
The hogs took the cholera and they've all done died [00:00:37]
The bees got mad and they left the hive [00:00:40]
The weevils got the corn and the rain rotted the hay [00:00:43]
But we're still aliving so everything's okay [00:00:46]
The porch rotted down that's more expense [00:00:51]
The darned old mule he tore down the fence [00:00:54]
The mortgage is due and I can't pay [00:00:57]
But we're still aliving so everything's okay [00:00:59]
The cow broke in the field and eat up the beans [00:01:03]
The darn rabbits they got the turnip greens [00:01:06]
And my mainlaw just moved in to stay [00:01:09]
But we're still aliving so everything's okay [00:01:12]
My land's so poor so hard and yeller [00:01:17]
You have to set on a sack of fertilizer to raise an umbreller [00:01:20]
And it rains out here nearly every day [00:01:22]
But we're still aliving so everything's okay [00:01:26]
The wells gone dry and I have to tote the water [00:01:31]
Up from the spring about a mile and a quarter [00:01:34]
My helper he quit for the lack of pay [00:01:37]
But we're still aliving so everything's okay [00:01:39]
The house it leaks it needs a new top [00:01:46]
When it rains it wets everything we got [00:01:49]
The chimney fell down just yesterday [00:01:52]
But we're still aliving so everything's okay [00:01:55]
The corn meals gone and the meat's run out [00:01:59]
Got nothing to kill to put in the smokehouse [00:02:02]
The preacher's coming Sunday to spend the day [00:02:04]
But we're still aliving so everything's okay [00:02:07]
I asked for another loan but the banker turned me down [00:02:11]
I die[00:02:15]
