Dust Bowl Blues

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
Ill blow back out again.
I guess youve heard about evry kind of blues,
I guess youve heard about evry kind of blues,
But when the dust gets high, you cant even see the sky.
Ive seen the dust so black that
I couldnt see a thing,
Ive seen the dust so black that
I couldnt 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,
Ive 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, its 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
Ill soon blow out again.
