Talking Dust Bowl Blues - Woody Guthrie[00:00:00]
Back in Nineteen Twenty-Seven [00:00:08]
I had a little farm and I called that heaven [00:00:10]
Well the prices up and the rain come down [00:00:12]
And I hauled my crops all into town[00:00:14]
I got the money bought clothes and groceries [00:00:16]
Fed the kids and raised a family [00:00:21]
Rain quit and the wind got high [00:00:25]
And the black ol' dust storm filled the sky [00:00:27]
And I swapped my farm for a Ford machine [00:00:29]
And I poured it full of this gas-i-line[00:00:31]
And I started rockin' an' a-rollin' [00:00:34]
Over the mountains out towards the old Peach Bowl [00:00:38]
Way up yonder on a mountain road [00:00:46]
I had a hot motor and a heavy load [00:00:47]
I's a-goin' pretty fast there wasn't even stoppin' [00:00:49]
A-bouncin' up and down like popcorn poppin'[00:00:51]
Had a breakdown i'm sort of a nervous bustdown of some kind [00:00:54]
There was a feller there a mechanic feller [00:00:58]
Said it was en-gine trouble [00:01:00]
Way up yonder on a mountain curve [00:01:19]
It's way up yonder in the piney wood [00:01:21]
An' I give that rollin' Ford a shove [00:01:23]
An' I's a-gonna coast as far as I could[00:01:25]
Commence coastin' pickin' up speed [00:01:28]
Was a hairpin turn I didn't make it [00:01:32]
Man alive I'm a-tellin' you [00:01:39]
The fiddles and the guitars really flew [00:01:40]
That Ford took off like a flying squirrel[00:01:42]
An' it flew halfway around the world[00:01:45]
Scattered wives and childrens[00:01:47]
All over the side of that mountain [00:01:49]
We got out to the West Coast broke [00:02:00]
So dad-gum hungry I thought I'd croak [00:02:02]
An' I bummed up a spud or two [00:02:04]
An' my wife fixed up a tater stew[00:02:06]
We poured the kids full of it [00:02:10]
Mighty thin stew though [00:02:14]
You could read a magazine right through it [00:02:15]
Always have figured[00:02:21]
That if it'd been just a little bit thinner [00:02:22]
Some of these here politicians[00:02:26]
Coulda seen through it[00:02:28]
