Talking Dust Bowl Blues - Woody Guthrie/Pete Seeger[00:00:00]
Written by:Guthrie[00:00:01]
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' arollin'[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 agoin' pretty fast there wasn't even stoppin'[00:00:49]
Abouncin' up and down like popcorn poppin'[00:00:52]
Had a breakdown sort of a nervous bustdown of some kind[00:00:54]
There was a feller there a mechanic feller[00:00:59]
Said it was engine trouble[00:01:01]
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 atellin' you[00:01:39]
The fiddles and the guitars really flew[00:01:41]
That Ford took off like a flying squirrel[00:01:43]
An' it flew halfway around the world[00:01:45]
Scattered wives and children's[00:01:48]
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[00:02:16]
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]
Could seen through it[00:02:29]
