Williams Jr., Hank - Everything's Okay Lyrics
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 at last I'd passed his way
He rubbed his chin and here's what he had to say
My wife's been sick and the young'ns too and I'm durn near down with the flu
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
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.

He is sending a powerful message in this one!

An Amazing song writer. We will never see another that talented.
Did he really write all the songs attributed to him, or did he get them from unknown writers?
You know he was long gone by the time I was born but you know I Miss Hank more than I can express. God Bless
I love listening to Great songs like is and I love it
Bob Dylan's Chronicles brought me here. Thanks Bob!

Love this .
Glad you enjoyed it. I appreciate your listening
the winner . Great lyrics
Any day spent on this side of the grass should make you feel like everything's okay . °\(ö)/° = )
I heard this song on Willies Roadhouse on XM satellite radio years ago , I wanted to hear it again but couldn't remember the title today I finally found it
+dpergram glad you found it
you gotta love Hank. If not something wrong with you. cause this man were amazing.
were? get bent! Still is amazing... It is the damn greatest music ever made
Great Song!!
The sarcasm when he says "Everythings okay :)" is intense. Life sucks.
You got the wrong message.
It wasn't sarcasm, it was him being grateful that he's still alive.
souns similer to my friends of mine family but different wordings. lol
what a great song.
@Shay Crozier now that you mention it it's a very similiar song indeed to "busted" by johnny cash. the main difference is that this song (i just heard for the first time and i'm stoned and drunk) is the funniest country song i've ever heard. it literally made me laugh out loud (as i believe hank intended). hank williams and johnny cash were two of the best at what they did if not THE best.
+nowhereman - I agree, but Marty Robbins was another great songwriting story teller too, along with only a few others
strawberry roan...
Not only was he a great poet, but he had a great sense of humor! Love Hank!
Don't forget about Tom T Hall when you refer to the greatest story telling songwriters ever
reminds me of the johnny cash song busted
"busted" was written by Howard Harlan in 1962. Johnny recorded & released it in 1963. Hank wrote "everything's ok" around 1950 and released it on Luke the drifter (his alter ego) in 1954
A great funny song from Hank Williams
Great song. Thanks for sharing; Jesus Christ Bless! :)
