He loved his baseball and beer. The corner saloon was his favorite room, And he'd toast everyone who came near. He didn't think much of the future - He always lived for today. Didn't like dreamin', nor plannin', nor schemin’, And if you'd listen, here's what he'd say . . . Chorus “May your problems be a drop in the bucket; If the world's full of woe I don't care; Let 'em say I never did nobody no harm, And when it's last call, let me be there. Give me my corner in Heaven When I get there with nothin' to confess; Let the dice always roll number seven, And may the pretty ones always say yes. May the pretty ones always say yes.” Now, some folks said he was lazy - Didn't have what you'd call 'taste.' But when it came to boozin', or the brand he was choosin’, He never let a drop go to waste. I'm sure he would’ve liked his service; The preacherman was gentle and kind - Said, “Uncle Charlie did just what he said he would do, And he left just these few words behind . . . Repeat Chorus Bridge Now, when I find myself caught up in a world full of strife And it seems like I can't find my way, I remember Uncle Charlie - how he led his life - Sometimes I can still hear him say . . . Repeat Chorus
