We lease twenty acres and one Ginny mule,
From the Alabama trust.
For half of the cotton, and a third of the corn,
We get a handful of dust.
chorus
We cannot have all things to please us,
No matter how we try.
Until we all go to Jesus,
We can only wonder why?
I had a daughter called her Annabelle.
She's the apple of my eye.
Tried to give her something like I never had.
I didn't want to ever hear her cry.
When I'm dead and buried I'll take a hard life of tears,
For every day I've ever known.
Anna's in the churchyard, she's got no life at all.
She's only got these words on a stone.
