The Great Dust Bowl - Woody Guthrie[00:00:00]

On the 14th day of April of 1935 [00:00:03]

There struck the worst of dust[00:00:10]

Storms that ever filled the sky [00:00:12]

You could see that dust storm comin' [00:00:17]

The cloud looked deathlike black [00:00:20]

And through our mighty nation [00:00:23]

It left a dreadful track [00:00:27]

From Oklahoma City to[00:00:30]

He Arizona line [00:00:34]

Dakota and Nebraska to[00:00:37]

The lazy Rio Grande [00:00:41]

It fell across our city like a curtain[00:00:44]

Of black rolled down [00:00:49]

We thought it was our judgement [00:00:51]

We thought it was our doom [00:00:54]

The radio reported we listened with alarm [00:00:58]

The wild and windy actions of[00:01:05]

This great mysterious storm;[00:01:08]

From Albuquerque and Clovis and all New Mexico [00:01:11]

They said it was the blackest that ever they had saw [00:01:18]

From old Dodge City Kansas [00:01:25]

The dust had rung their knell [00:01:28]

And a few more comrades[00:01:32]

Sleeping on top of old Boot Hill [00:01:34]

From Denver Colorado[00:01:39]

they said it blew so strong [00:01:42]

They thought that they could hold out [00:01:45]

But they didn't know how long [00:01:48]

Our relatives were huddled[00:01:52]

Into their oil boom shacks [00:01:55]

And the children they was cryin' as[00:01:59]

It whistled through the cracks [00:02:02]

And the family it was crowded into their little room [00:02:06]

They thought the world had ended [00:02:13]

And they thought it was their doom [00:02:16]

The storm took place at sundown [00:02:20]

It lasted through the night [00:02:23]

When we looked out next morning[00:02:26]

we saw a terrible sight [00:02:30]

We saw outside our window[00:02:33]

Where wheat fields they had grown[00:02:37]

Was now a rippling ocean of dust the wind had blown [00:02:41]

It covered up our fences it covered up our barns [00:02:48]

It covered up our tractors in this wild and dusty storm [00:02:55]

We loaded our jalopies and piled our families in [00:03:02]

We rattled down that[00:03:08]

Highway to never come back again[00:03:11]
