E
On the 14th day of April of 1935,
There struck the worst of dust storms
B

that ever filled the sky.
A
E
You could see that dust storm comin',
the cloud looked deathlike black,
And through our mighty nation,
B
E
it left a dreadful track.
A
E
From Oklahoma City to the Arizona line,
A
E
Dakota and Nebraska
B
E
to the lazy Rio Grande,
A
E
It fell across our city like a curtain
B
E
of black rolled down,
We thought it was our judgement,
B
E
we thought it was our doom.
Verse 2
A
E
The radio reported,
B
E
we listened with alarm,
The wild and windy actions of this
B

great mysterious storm;
A

From Albuquerque and Clovis,
E
They said it was the blackest
B
E
that ever they had saw.

From old Dodge City, Kansas,

the dust had rung their knell,
And a few more comrades sleeping
B
E
on top of old Boot Hill.
A

From Denver, Colorado,
B
E
they said it blew so strong,
They thought that they could hold out,
B
E
but they didn't know how long.
Verse 4
A

Our relatives were huddled into
their oil boom shacks,
And the children they was cryin' as
B

it whistled through the cracks.
A

An d the family it was crowded
B
E
into their little room,
They thought the world had ended,
B
E
and they thought it was their doom.
A
The storm
Verse 5
B
E
it lasted through the night,
When we looked out next morning,
B
E
we saw a terrible sight.
A
E
We saw outside our window where
B
E
wheat fields they had grown
Was now a rippling ocean of
B
E
dust the wind had blown.
Verse 6
it covered up our barns,
It covered up our tractors in
B
E
this wild and dusty storm.
A
E
We loaded our jalopies and
piled our families in,
We rattled down that highway
B
E
to never come back again.
