On the 14th day of April in 1935,
D
G
A
there struck the worst of dust storms
D
that ever filled the sky.
G
D
A
D
The radio reported we listened with alarm
G
To the wild and windy actions
A
D
of that great mysterious storm.
D
A
D
they said it blew so strong
They thought that they could hold out
A
but they didn't know how long
D
G

From Oklahoma City to
A

the Colorado line
G

Dakota and Nebraska
A

to the lazy Rio Grande

In old Dodge City, Kansas,
A
D
the dust had rung their nail
And a few old comrades
A
D
sleeping on top of Old Foothill
G
D
And now the Kirk and Clovis
A
D
and all New Mexico,
They said it was the blackest
A
D
that ever they had saw.
G
D
You could see that dust storm coming,
A
the cloud looked death like black,
D
And through our mighty nation
A
D
it left a terrible track,
G
D
Our family they was huddled
A
D
into their old boom shacks,
And the children they were crying
A
D
as it whistled through the cracks,
G
D
And the children they were huddled
D
we thought it was our judgment
A
D
we thought it was our doom
G
D
the storm took place at sundown
A
D
it lasted through the night
when we went out next morning
A
D
we saw a terrible sight
G
A
When we'd outside our windows
D
A
where wheat fields once had grown
D
Was now a rippling ocean
A
D
of dust the wind had blown
G
A
D
It covered up our fences,
A
D
it covered up our barns
It covered up our tractors
A
in this wild mysterious storm
D
G
D
We loaded our jalopies
A
D
and piled our families in
We rattled down that highway
G
A
to never come back again
