Edgar Guest - I Ain`t Dead Yet
Work rating: Low

Time was I used to worry and I`d sit around an` sigh,
And think with every ache I got that I was goin` to die,
I`d see disaster comin` from a dozen different ways
An` prophesy calamity an` dark and dreary days.
But I`ve come to this conclusion, that it`s foolishness to fret;
I`ve had my share o` sickness, but I
                           Ain`t
                                Dead
                                    Yet!

Wet springs have come to grieve me an` I`ve grumbled at the showers,
But I can`t recall a June-time that forgot to bring the flowers.
I`ve had my business troubles, and looked failure in the face,
But the crashes I expected seemed to pass right by the place.
So I`m takin` life more calmly, pleased with everything I get,
An` not over-hurt by losses, `cause I
                           Ain`t
                                Dead
                                    Yet!

I`ve feared a thousand failures an` a thousand deaths I`ve died,
I`ve had this world in ruins by the gloom I`ve prophesied.
But the sun shines out this mornin` an` the skies above are blue,
An` with all my griefs an` trouble, I have somehow lived `em through.
There may be cares before me, much like those that I have met;
Death will come some day an` take me, but I
                           Ain`t
                                Dead
                                    Yet!
