there struck the worst of dust storms

The radio reported we listened with alarm

of that great mysterious storm.

they said it blew so strong
They thought that they could hold out

From Oklahoma City to
F

the Colorado line
Eb

Dakota and Nebraska
F

to the lazy Rio Grande
Eb

In old Dodge City, Kansas,
F

the dust had rung their nail
And a few old comrades
F
Bb
sleeping on top of Old Foothill
Eb
Bb
And now the Kirk and Clovis
F

and all New Mexico,
They said it was the blackest
F
Bb
that ever they had saw.
Eb
Bb
You could see that dust storm coming,
F
Bb
it left a terrible track,
Eb
Bb
Our family they was huddled
F

into their old boom shacks,
And the children they were crying
F
Bb
as it whistled through the cracks,
Eb

And the children they were huddled
F

we thought it was our doom
Eb
Bb
the storm took place at sundown
F
Bb
it lasted through the night
when we went out next morning
F
Bb
we saw a terrible sight
Eb
F
When we'd outside our windows
Bb
F
where wheat fields once had grown
F
Bb
of dust the wind had blown
Eb
F
Bb
It covered up our fences,
F
Bb
it covered up our barns
It covered up our tractors
Bb
Eb
Bb
We loaded our jalopies
F
Bb
and piled our families in
We rattled down that highway
Eb
F
to never come back again
Bb
