Talkin' Dust Bowl - Country Joe McDonald[00:00:00]

Back in nineteen twenty seven[00:00:07]

I had a little farm I called that heaven[00:00:08]

The prices up and the rain come down[00:00:11]

And I hauled my crops all into town[00:00:13]

I got the money[00:00:15]

Bought clothes and groceries[00:00:17]

Fed the kids and raised a big family[00:00:18]

But the rain quit and the wind got high[00:00:23]

A black old dust storm filled the sky[00:00:25]

I traded my farm for a ford machine[00:00:27]

Poured it full of this gasoline[00:00:30]

Started rocking and rolling[00:00:32]

Deserts and mountains to California[00:00:34]

Way up yonder on a mountain road[00:00:40]

Hot motor and a heavy load[00:00:42]

Going pretty fast I wasn't even stopping[00:00:44]

Bouncing up and down like popcorn popping[00:00:46]

I had a breakdown[00:00:48]

Kind of a nervous bustdown[00:00:50]

The mechanic fellow there charged me five bucks[00:00:52]

Said it was engine trouble[00:00:55]

Way up yonder on a mountain curve[00:01:00]

Way up yonder in the piney wood[00:01:02]

I gave that rolling ford a shove[00:01:04]

And I coast as far as I could[00:01:06]

Commencing rolling[00:01:08]

Picking up speed[00:01:10]

Come a hairpin turn and[00:01:11]

I didn't make it[00:01:13]

No man alive I'm telling you[00:01:16]

That the fiddles and the guitars really flew[00:01:18]

That ford took off like a flying squirrel[00:01:20]

And it flew halfway around the world[00:01:23]

Scattered the wives and children[00:01:25]

All over the side of that mountain[00:01:27]

Got to California so dad gum broke[00:01:33]

Dad gum hungry that I thought I'd choke[00:01:35]

I bummed up a spud or two[00:01:37]

And a wife fixed up some 'tater stew[00:01:39]

We poured the kids full of it[00:01:41]

Mighty skinny kids[00:01:44]

Looked like a tribe of thermometers running around[00:01:45]

No man I swear to you[00:01:50]

That was surely mighty thin stew[00:01:52]

So d**n thin I really mean[00:01:54]

You could read a magazine right through it[00:01:56]

Look at the pictures too[00:01:59]

Pretty whisky bottles and naked women[00:02:01]

Always have thought and always have figured[00:02:04]

That if that d**n stew had been just a little bit thinner[00:02:06]

Some of these here politicians could have seen through it[00:02:11]
