On the 14th day of April in 1935,
C
F

there struck the worst of dust storms

that ever filled the sky.
F
C
G
C
The radio reported we listened with alarm
F
To the wild and windy actions
G
C
of that great mysterious storm.
C
G
C
they said it blew so strong
They thought that they could hold out
G
but they didn't know how long
C
F
G
C
From Oklahoma City to
G
C
the Colorado line
F
C
Dakota and Nebraska
G
C
to the lazy Rio Grande
F
C
In old Dodge City, Kansas,
G
C
the dust had rung their nail
And a few old comrades
G
C
sleeping on top of Old Foothill
F
C
And now the Kirk and Clovis
G
C
and all New Mexico,
They said it was the blackest
G
C
that ever they had saw.
F
C
You could see that dust storm coming,
G
the cloud looked death like black,
C
And through our mighty nation
G
C
it left a terrible track,
F
C
Our family they was huddled
G
C
into their old boom shacks,
And the children they were crying
G
C
as it whistled through the cracks,
F
C
And the children they were huddled
C
we thought it was our judgment
G
C
we thought it was our doom
F
C
the storm took place at sundown
G
C
it lasted through the night
when we went out next morning
G
C
we saw a terrible sight
F
G
When we'd outside our windows
C
G
where wheat fields once had grown
C
Was now a rippling ocean
G
C
of dust the wind had blown
F
G
C
It covered up our fences,
G
C
it covered up our barns
It covered up our tractors
G
in this wild mysterious storm
C
F
C
We loaded our jalopies
G
C
and piled our families in
We rattled down that highway
F
G
to never come back again
