Lyrics

[Intro]
| Em | - | - | - |

[Verse 1]
Em                            C
  I lease twenty acres and one Jenny mule
B7                 Em
  From the Alabama trust
                   C
Half of the cotton, a third of the corn
B7                    Em
  Ya get a handful of dust

[Chorus]
          C                      G
And we cannot have all things to please us
   D             Em
No matter how we try
            C           G
Until we've all gone to Jesus
       D           Em C D Em
We can only wonder why

[Verse 2]
Em                 C
  I had a daughter, called her Annabelle
B7                      Em
  She's the apple of my eye
                                  C
Tried to give her something like I never had
B7                               Em
  I didn't want to ever hear her cry

[Chorus]
          C                      G
And we cannot have all things to please us
   D             Em
No matter how we try
            C           G
Until we've all gone to Jesus
       D           Em
We can only wonder why

[Verse 3]
Em                                     C
  When I'm dead and buried I'll take a hard life of tears
B7                        Em
  For every day I've ever known
Anna's in the churchyard,
            C
she's got no life at all
B7                                Em
  She's only got these words on a stone

[Chorus]
          C                      G
And we cannot have all things to please us
   D             Em
No matter how we try
            C           G
Until we've all gone to Jesus
       D           Em
We can only wonder why

[Outro]
