I just blowed in, and I got them dust bowl blues
I just blowed in, and I got them dust bowl blues
I just blowed in, and I'll blow back out again

I guess you've heard about every kind of blues
I guess you've heard about every kind of blues
But when the dust gets high, you can't even see the sky

I seen the dust so black that I couldn't see a thing
I seen the dust so black that I couldn't see a thing
And the wind so cold, boy it nearly cut your water off

I seen the wind so high that it blowed my fences down
I seen the wind so high it blowed my fences down
Buried my tractor six feet under ground

Well it turned my farm into a pile of sand
Yes it turned my farm into a pile of sand
I had to hit that road with a bottle in my head

I spent 10 years down in that old dust bowl
I spent 10 years down in that old dust bowl
When you get that dust pneumonia, boy it's time to go

I had a gal and she was young and sweet
I had a gal and she was young and sweet
But a dust storm buried her 1600 feet

She was a good gal, long, tall, and stout
She was a good gal, long, tall, and stout
I had to get a steam shovel just to dig my darling out

These dusty blues are the dustiest ones I know
These dusty blues are the dustiest ones I know
Buried head over heels, I had to pack up and go
And I just blowed in, and I'll soon blow out again
