Смысл текста песни "Everything's Okay" исполнителя "Bobby Darin"

Now I went to the country

Just the other day

To see my uncle Bill

And pass some time away

I asked how'd he'd been

Since last I passed his way

And he rubbed his chin

And that's what he had to say

He said, my wife's been sick

My youngins too

And I'm darn near down

With the instamatic flu

The cows gone dry

And my hens wont lay

But we're still living

Everythings okay

He said 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 got the hay

But we're still living

So everything's okay

He said the porch rotted down

That's more expense

The darned old mule

Tore down the fence

The mortgage is due

And I can't pay

But we're still living

So everything's okay

Now the cow broke in the field

And eat up the beans

And the durn rabbits

They got the turnip greens

And my ma-in-law

Just moved in to stay

But we're still living

So everything's okay

Now my land's so poor

So hard and yeller

You have to set on a sack of fetilizer

To raise an umbreller

And it rains out here

Just about every day

But we're still living

So everything's okay

Now the well's gone dry

And I got 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 living

So everything's okay

Now the house it leaks

And it needs a new top

And every time it rains

It wets everything we got

The chimney fell down

Just the other day

But we're still living

So everything's okay

The corn meals gone

And the meat's run out

Got nothing to kill

To put in the smokehouse

The preacher's coming Sunday

To spend the day

But we're still living

So everything's okay

In fact if things were not better

I'd like to lay me down and die
