[Verse 1]
            
We lease twent

            
y acres and on

e Ginny mule
            
From the Alaba

For half of th

              
e cotton and a

 
 third of the 

corn
            
We get a handf

      
ul of dust

[Chorus]
             
We cannot have

              
 all things to

             
 please us, no

             
 matter how we

 
 try
             
Until we've al

             
l gone to Jesu

[Verse 2]
            
I had a daught

   
er called her 

Annabelle 
            
She's the appl

        
e of my eye
            
Tried to give 

              
her something 


like I never h

ad
            
Didn't want to

              
 ever hear her

 
 cry

[Chorus]
             
We cannot have

Until we've al

[Solo]
             
                   

[Verse 3]
            
When I'm dead 

              
and buried I'l

         
l take a hard 

life of tears
            
From every day

           
 I've ever kno

wn
            
Anna's in the 

              
churchyard she

     
 got no life a

t all
            
She only got t

              
hese words on 

  
a stone

[Chorus]
             
We cannot have

              
 all things to

             
 please us, no

             
 matter how we

Until we've al
