Dust Bowl Blues

Lyrics

I just blowed in and I got them Dust Bowl blues
 I just blowed in and I got them Dust Bowl blues
 I just blowed in and I'll blow back out again
 I guess you've heard about ev'ry kind of blues
 I guess you've heard about ev'ry kind of blues
 But when the dust gets high you can't even see the sky
 I've seen the dust so black that I couldn't see a thing
 I've seen the dust so black that I couldn't see a thing
 And the wind so cold, boy, it nearly cut your water off
 I seen the wind so high that it blowed my fences down
 I've seen the wind so high that it blowed my fences down
 Buried my tractor six feet underground
 ♪
 Well, it turned my farm into a pile of sand
 Yes, it turned my farm into a pile of sand
 I had to hit that road with a bottle in my hand
 ♪
 I spent ten years down in that old Dust Bowl
 I spent ten years down in that old Dust Bowl
 When you get that dust pneumony, boy, it's time to go
 I had a gal and she was young and sweet
 I had a gal and she was young and sweet
 But a dust storm buried her sixteen hundred feet
 She was a good gal, long, tall and stout
 Yes, she was a good gal, long, tall and stout
 I had to get a steam shovel just to dig my darlin' out
 ♪
 These dusty blues are the dustiest ones I know
 These dusty blues are the dustiest ones I know
 Buried head over heels in the black old dust
 I had to pack up and go
 An' I just blowed in an' I'll soon blow out again
