The Great Dust Storm - Woody Guthrie[00:00:00]

On the 14th day of April of 1935[00:00:03]

There struck the worst of dust storms that ever filled the sky[00:00:10]

You could see that dust storm comin' the cloud looked deathlike black[00:00:17]

And through our mighty nation it left a dreadful track[00:00:24]

From Oklahoma City to the Arizona line[00:00:31]

Dakota and Nebraska to the lazy Rio Grande[00:00:38]

It fell across our city like a curtain of black rolled down[00:00:45]

We thought it was our judgement we thought it was our doom[00:00:51]

The radio reported we listened with alarm[00:00:58]

The wild and windy actions of this great mysterious storm[00:01:05]

From Albuquerque and Clovis and all New Mexico[00:01:12]

They said it was the blackest that ever they had saw[00:01:19]

From old Dodge City Kansas the dust had rung their knell[00:01:26]

And a few more comrades sleeping on top of old Boot Hill[00:01:33]

From Denver Colorado they said it blew so strong[00:01:40]

They thought that they could hold out but[00:01:47]

They didn't know how long[00:01:50]

Our relatives were huddled into their oil boom shacks[00:01:54]

And the children they was cryin' as it whistled through the cracks[00:02:00]

And the family it was crowded into their little room[00:02:07]

They thought the world had ended and[00:02:14]

They thought it was their doom[00:02:18]

The storm took place at sundown it lasted through the night[00:02:21]

When we looked out next morning we saw a terrible sight[00:02:28]

We saw outside our window where wheat fields they had grown[00:02:35]

Was now a rippling ocean of dust the wind had blown[00:02:43]

It covered up our fences it covered up our barns[00:02:49]

It covered up our tractors in this wild and dusty storm[00:02:56]

We loaded our jalopies and piled our families in[00:03:03]

We rattled down that highway to never come back again[00:03:10]
