The Great Dust Storm (Dust Storm Disaster) - Woody Guthrie[00:00:00]

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

There struck the worst of dust storms that ever filled the sky [00:00:10]

You could see that dust storm comin' the cloud looked deathlike black [00:00:17]

And through our mighty nation it left a dreadful track [00:00:24]

From Oklahoma City to the Arizona line [00:00:31]

Dakota and Nebraska to the lazy Rio Grande [00:00:37]

It fell across our city like a curtain of black rolled down [00:00:44]

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

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

The wild and windy actions of this great mysterious storm;[00:01:05]

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 the dust had rung their knell [00:01:25]

And a few more comrades sleeping on top of old Boot Hill [00:01:32]

From Denver Colorado they said it blew so strong [00:01:39]

They thought that they could hold out but they didn't know how long [00:01:45]

Our relatives were huddled into their oil boom shacks [00:01:52]

And the children they was cryin' as it whistled through the cracks [00:01:59]

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

They thought the world had ended and they thought it was their doom [00:02:12]

The storm took place at sundown it lasted through the night [00:02:20]

When we looked out next morning we saw a terrible sight [00:02:26]

We saw outside our window where wheat fields they had grown[00:02:33]

Was now a rippling ocean of dust the wind had blown [00:02:40]

It covered up our fences it covered up our barns [00:02:47]

It covered up our tractors in this wild and dusty storm [00:02:54]

We loaded our jalopies and piled our families in [00:03:01]

We rattled down that highway to never come back again[00:03:08]
