[00:01.69] A lot of you folks have been requesting
[00:03.68] I recorded this and my half-brother rec-
[00:06.65] I mean I wrote it, my half-brother recorder it
[00:09.94] MGM Luke the Drifter
[00:12.79] It's a little, huh, it's got a lot of sense in it
[00:16.34] If you ever lived on a farm you'll probably agree with me
[00:19.91] Think all outside of that, everything's in a pretty fair shape
[00:24.89] Well, I went to the country and it's just the other day
[00:27.75] To see my Uncle Bill and sorta pass the time away
[00:32.42] I asked him how he'd been since last I'd passed his way
[00:36.23] He rubbed his chin and here's what he had to say
[00:41.04] "Now my wife's been sick and the youngins too and
[00:44.48] I'm durn near down with the flu
[00:47.74] The cow's gone dry and the hens won't lay
[00:50.98] But we're still a-livin' so everything's okay
[00:55.84] The cow broke in the field and eat up the beans
[01:00.04] The doggone rabbits, they got the turnip greens
[01:04.69] My maw in-law just moved in to stay
[01:07.29] But we're still a-livin' so everything's okay
[01:12.75] My land's so poor, so hard and yeller
[01:16.04] You have to sit on a sack of fertilizer to raise an umbrella
[01:21.31] And it rains out here nearly every day, but
[01:24.83] We're still a-livin' so everything's okay
[01:29.66] The hogs took the cholera and they've all done died
[01:33.65] The bees got mad and they left the hive
[01:36.75] The weevils got the corn and the rain rotted the hay, but
[01:40.90] We're still a-livin' so everything's okay
[01:45.46] The porch rotted down and that's more expense
[01:49.60] The darned old mule has tore down the fence
[01:52.89] The mortgage is due and I can't pay
[01:56.36] But we're still a-livin' so everything's okay
[02:01.88] The well's gone dry and I have to tote the water
[02:05.17] Up from the spring about a mile and a quarter
[02:09.02] My helper, he quit for the lack of pay
[02:12.12] But we're still a-livin' so everything's okay
[02:19.27] The house, it leaks, it needs a new top
[02:22.66] When it rains it wets everything we got
[02:26.24] The chimney fell down just the other day
[02:28.76] But we still here, so everything's okay
[02:34.61] The corn meal's gone and the meat runs out
[02:37.76] Ain't got nothin' to kill to put in the smokehouse
[02:41.48] The preacher's comin' Sunday to spend the day
[02:44.36] But we're still a-livin' so everything's okay
[02:49.05] The canned stuff's spoiled else the jar's got broke
[02:52.73] All we got left is one old William goat
[02:57.54] We're gonna have a new baby about the first of May
[03:00.70] But we're still a-livin', so everything's okay
[03:06.38] My crop, it rotted in the ground
[03:09.74] I asked for another loan but the banker turned me down
[03:14.79] But we're still a-livin' and we're prayin' for better days
[03:18.13] So after all, everything's in pretty fair shape"
[03:25.59] It was here a minute guys, get home sick
