Lyrics

Bilingual
We lease 20 acres
And one Ginny mule
From the Alabama Trust
For half of the cotton and a third of the corn
Get a hand full of dust
We cannot have all things to please us
No matter how we try
Until we've all gone to Jesus
We can only wonder why
ย
I had a daughter
Called her Annabelle
She's the apple of my eye
Tried to give her something like I never had
Didn't want to ever hear her cry
We cannot have all things to please us
No matter how we try
Until we've all gone to Jesus
We can only wonder why
ย
When I'm dead and buried
I'll take a hard life of tears
From every day I've ever known
Anna's in the churchyard
She got no life at all
She only got these words on a stone
We cannot have all things to please us
No matter how we try
Until we've all gone to Jesus
We can only wonder why
