My Oklahoma Home Blowed Away - Pete Seeger[00:00:00]

When they opened up the strip I was young and full of zip [00:00:07]

I wanted some place to call my own [00:00:13]

And so I made the race and staked me out a place [00:00:17]

And settled down along the Cimarron [00:00:22]

It blowed away it blowed away [00:00:27]

My Oklahoma home it blowed away [00:00:32]

It looked so green and fair when I built my shanty there [00:00:37]

But my Oklahoma home it blowed away [00:00:42]

I planted wheat and oats [00:00:47]

Got some chickens and some shoats [00:00:50]

Aimed to have some ham and eggs to feed my face [00:00:53]

Got a mule to pull the plow [00:00:58]

Got an old red muley cow[00:01:00]

And also got a fancy mortgage on the place [00:01:03]

It blowed away it blowed away [00:01:08]

All the crops I planted blowed away [00:01:13]

You can't grow any grain if you ain't got any rain;[00:01:18]

All except the mortgage blowed away [00:01:24]

It looked so green and fair [00:01:29]

When I built my shanty there [00:01:31]

I figured I was all set for life [00:01:34]

I put on my Sunday best with my fancy scalloped vest[00:01:39]

And went to town and picked me out a wife [00:01:44]

She blowed away she blowed away[00:01:48]

My Oklahoma woman blowed away [00:01:54]

Mister as I bent and kissed her [00:01:59]

She was picked up by a twister;[00:02:01]

My Oklahoma woman blowed away [00:02:04]

Then I was left alone a-listenin' to the moan[00:02:09]

Of the wind around the corners of my shack;[00:02:14]

So I took off down the road[00:02:19]

When the south wind blowed [00:02:22]

A-travelin' with the wind at my back [00:02:24]

I blowed away I blowed away[00:02:29]

Chasin' a dust cloud up ahead [00:02:35]

Once it looked so green and fair [00:02:39]

Now it's up there in the air;[00:02:42]

My Oklahoma farm is overhead [00:02:44]

Now I'm always close to home no matter where I roam [00:02:49]

For Oklahoma dust is everywhere [00:02:55]

Makes no difference where I'm walkin[00:03:00]

I can hear my chickens squawkin'[00:03:02]

I can hear my wife a-talkin' in the air [00:03:04]

It blowed away it blowed away [00:03:09]

My Oklahoma home blowed away [00:03:15]

But my home is always near;[00:03:20]

It's in the atmosphere [00:03:22]

My Oklahoma home that blowed away [00:03:25]

I'm a roamin' Oklahoman [00:03:29]

But I'm always close to home[00:03:32]

And I'll never get homesick 'til I die [00:03:35]

No matter where I'm found [00:03:40]

My home is all around;[00:03:42]

My Oklahoma home is in the sky [00:03:45]

It blowed away it blowed away [00:03:49]

My farm down upon the Cimarron [00:03:55]

But all around the world wherever dust is whirled [00:04:00]

Some is from my Oklahoma home [00:04:05]

It blowed away it blowed away [00:04:10]

My Oklahoma home blowed away [00:04:15]

Oh it's up there in the sky in[00:04:21]

That dust cloud rolling by [00:04:23]

My Oklahoma home is in the sky[00:04:26]
