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 [00:00:17]
Fed the kids and raised a family [00:00:21]
Rain quit and the wind got high [00:00:26]
And the black ol' dust storm filled the sky [00:00:28]
And I swapped my farm for a Ford machine [00:00:30]
And I poured it full of this gas-i-line[00:00:32]
And I started rockin' an' a-rollin' [00:00:34]
Over the mountains out towards the old Peach Bowl [00:00:39]
Way up yonder on a mountain road [00:00:46]
I had a hot motor and a heavy load [00:00:48]
I's a-goin' pretty fast there wasn't even stoppin' [00:00:50]
A-bouncin' up and down like popcorn poppin'[00:00:52]
Had a breakdown [00:00:54]
I'm sort of a nervous bustdown of some kind [00:00:56]
There was a feller there a mechanic feller [00:00:59]
Said it was en-gine trouble [00:01:01]
Way up yonder on a mountain curve [00:01:20]
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[00:01:26]
Commence coastin' pickin' up speed [00:01:29]
Was a hairpin turn I didn't make it [00:01:33]
Man alive I'm a-tellin' you [00:01:40]
The fiddles and the guitars really flew [00:01:41]
That Ford took off like a flying squirrel[00:01:44]
An' it flew halfway around the world[00:01:46]
Scattered wives and childrens[00:01:48]
All over the side of that mountain [00:01:50]
We got out to the West Coast broke [00:02:01]
So dad-gum hungry I thought I'd croak [00:02:03]
An' I bummed up a spud or two [00:02:05]
An' my wife fixed up a tater stew[00:02:07]
We poured the kids full of it [00:02:11]
Mighty thin stew though [00:02:15]
You could read a magazine right through it [00:02:17]
Always have figured[00:02:22]
That if it'd been just a little bit thinner [00:02:23]
Some of these here politicians[00:02:27]
Coulda seen through it[00:02:30]
