We lease twenty acres and one Ginny mule From the Alabama trust Half of the cotton, a third of the corn
Get a handful of dust
And we can not have all things to please us
No matter how we try
Until we've all gone 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
And we can not have all things to please us No matter how we try
Until we've all gone to Jesus
We can only wonder why
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
And we can not have all things to please us
No matter how we try
Until we've all gone to Jesus
We can only wonder why
