I've had my problems, large and small,
Time will not permit me to tell them all.
I'm going to tell you just a few,
Why, for me, this is not something new.
My old truck lost its power and wouldn't run,
Walking those gravel roads was no fun.
My horse fell dead and my mule went lame,
Down on the riverboat I lost ten cows in a poker game.
Then a tornado came on a hot summer day,
The wind was so strong it blew my house away.
Then there was an earthquake after the tornado had gone,
Swallowed up the land my house stood on.
As if this was not bad enough the stinking tax collector came around,
Would you believe, he charged me a tax for that hole in the ground.
There it was, a hole in the ground, as you could plainly see,
Was I discouraged, NO SIRREEE.
My wife got bit by a snake when she stepped on a mouse,
She had nowhere to go for there was no house.
The kids got the measles and the summer flu,
Now their friends had dwindled to a few.
I began to wonder what's happening to me.
I gathered the family together for a discussion to see.
What could be done about the misfortunes we'd had,
I wanted to be sure the decision would make everyone glad.
We pondered our thoughts and said,
We gotta go or we'll all be dead.
We moved to Georgia and settled down.
Now we're loved by almost everyone in town.
