Talking Dust Bowl Blues - Woody Guthrie[00:00:00]
Back in nineteen twenty seven[00:00:09]
I had a little farm[00:00:11]
And I called it heaven[00:00:12]
Prices up and the rain come down[00:00:13]
I hauled my crops all into town[00:00:15]
Got the money[00:00:17]
Bought clothes and groceries[00:00:19]
Fed the kids[00:00:22]
And raised a family[00:00:23]
But the rain quit[00:00:26]
And the wind got high[00:00:27]
Black old dust storm[00:00:28]
Filled the sky[00:00:29]
I traded my farm for a ford machine[00:00:30]
Poured it full of this gasiline[00:00:32]
And started[00:00:34]
Rocking and a rolling[00:00:36]
Over the mountains[00:00:39]
Out towards the old peach bowl[00:00:40]
Way up yonder on a mountain road[00:00:46]
Hot motor and a heavy load[00:00:48]
Going purty fast[00:00:50]
Wasn't even stopping[00:00:51]
Bouncing up[00:00:52]
And down like popcorn apopping[00:00:53]
Had a breakdown[00:00:55]
Sort of a nervous bustdown of some kind[00:00:56]
There was a feller there[00:00:59]
A mechanic feller[00:01:00]
Said it was engine trouble[00:01:02]
Way up yonder on a mountain curve[00:01:20]
It's way up yonder in the piney wood[00:01:21]
And I give that rolling[00:01:23]
Ford a shove[00:01:24]
And I's gonna coast[00:01:25]
As far as I could[00:01:26]
Commence coasting[00:01:29]
Picking up speed[00:01:31]
Was a hairping turn[00:01:33]
I didn't make it[00:01:35]
Man alive[00:01:39]
I'm a telling you[00:01:40]
The fiddles[00:01:41]
And the guitars really flew[00:01:42]
That ford took off[00:01:43]
Like a flying squirrel[00:01:44]
And it flew halfway around the world[00:01:45]
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[00:02:03]
I thought I'd croak[00:02:04]
And I bummed up a spud or two[00:02:05]
And 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[00:02:17]
Through it[00:02:18]
Always have figured[00:02:21]
That if it'd been[00:02:23]
Just a little bit thinner[00:02:24]
Some of these here politicians[00:02:27]
Coulda seen through it[00:02:29]
