On the 14th day of April in 1935,
A
D
E
there struck the worst of dust storms
A
that ever filled the sky.
D
A
E
A
The radio reported we listened with alarm
D
To the wild and windy actions
E
A
of that great mysterious storm.
A
E
A
they said it blew so strong
They thought that they could hold out
E
but they didn't know how long
A
D
E
A
From Oklahoma City to
E
A
the Colorado line
D
A
Dakota and Nebraska
E
A
to the lazy Rio Grande
D
A
In old Dodge City, Kansas,
E
A
the dust had rung their nail
And a few old comrades
E
A
sleeping on top of Old Foothill
D
A
And now the Kirk and Clovis
E
A
and all New Mexico,
They said it was the blackest
E
A
that ever they had saw.
D
A
You could see that dust storm coming,
E
the cloud looked death like black,
A
And through our mighty nation
E
A
it left a terrible track,
D
A
Our family they was huddled
E
A
into their old boom shacks,
And the children they were crying
E
A
as it whistled through the cracks,
D
A
And the children they were huddled
A
we thought it was our judgment
E
A
we thought it was our doom
D
A
the storm took place at sundown
E
A
it lasted through the night
when we went out next morning
E
A
we saw a terrible sight
D
E
When we'd outside our windows
A
E
where wheat fields once had grown
A
Was now a rippling ocean
E
A
of dust the wind had blown
D
E
A
It covered up our fences,
E
A
it covered up our barns
It covered up our tractors
E
in this wild mysterious storm
A
D
A
We loaded our jalopies
E
A
and piled our families in
We rattled down that highway
D
E
to never come back again
