• I'm Mighty Glad I'm Living, That's All (1905) Victor record (1911)

I'm mighty glad I'm living and that's all.

"This life's a play" said Shakespeare, they're the truest words he spoke,
Mister Shakespeare is a man I wish I'd met.
For I've seen enough of life to understand that's it's a joke
It's a joke and no one's guess'd the answer yet.

Why it's all imagination, if you'll only stop to think,
To this positive conclusion you'll arrive.
We live and than we die, And when we die, why it's goodbye?
So we ought to all be glad that we're alive.

I've seen a lot of sunshine, I've seen a lot of rain,
I've known a lot of hapiness, I've known a lot of pain;
I've had a dozen fortunes, A dozen times been broke,
No matter how the winds may blow, I take it as a joke.

I've had a lot of worry, Of fun I've had no ends,
I've made a lot of enemies, I've made a lot of friends;
No matter what may happen, Whatever may befall,
I only know, I'm mighty glad, I'm living and that's all

The man who takes like serious is an awful laugh with me,
Why you'll dodge him if you see him on the street;
But the man who sees the funny side of everything he'll see
Is the man that ev'rybody want's to meet.

Why it's all just what you make it, You can manufacture joy,
Or can find a lot of fault that's if you try;
But a disposition bright, And a corking appetite,
Are two little things that bank rolls never buy.

I never long for riches, I never long for fame,
I care not if posterity Ignores or shouts my name;
I never envy Roosevelt, Nor wish that I were he,
Just what I am and who I am, I'm satisfied to be.

The Pennsylvania Railroad, It isn't mine and so,
I care not if the stocks go up or down, or how they go;
I'm happy and I'm healthy, No doctors nedd to call,
And so I know I'm mighty glad I'm living and that's all.
