Lyrics Talking Dust Bowl Blues (Remastered) - Woody Guthrie
Back
in
Nineteen
Twenty-Seven,
I
had
a
little
farm
and
I
called
that
heaven.
Well,
the
prices
up
and
the
rain
come
down,
And
I
hauled
my
crops
all
into
town
--
I
got
the
money,
bought
clothes
and
groceries,
Fed
the
kids,
and
raised
a
family.
Rain
quit
and
the
wind
got
high,
And
the
black
ol′
dust
storm
filled
the
sky.
And
I
swapped
my
farm
for
a
Ford
machine,
And
I
poured
it
full
of
this
gas-i-line
--
And
I
started,
rockin'
an′
a-rollin',
Over
the
mountains,
out
towards
the
old
Peach
Bowl.
Way
up
yonder
on
a
mountain
road,
I
had
a
hot
motor
and
a
heavy
load,
I's
a-goin′
pretty
fast,
there
wasn′t
even
stoppin',
A-bouncin′
up
and
down,
like
popcorn
poppin'
--
Had
a
breakdown,
sort
of
a
nervous
bustdown
of
some
kind,
There
was
a
feller
there,
a
mechanic
feller,
Said
it
was
en-gine
trouble.
Way
up
yonder
on
a
mountain
curve,
It′s
way
up
yonder
in
the
piney
wood,
An'
I
give
that
rollin′
Ford
a
shove,
An'
I's
a-gonna
coast
as
far
as
I
could
--
Commence
coastin′,
pickin′
up
speed,
Was
a
hairpin
turn,
I
didn't
make
it.
Man
alive,
I′m
a-tellin'
you,
The
fiddles
and
the
guitars
really
flew.
That
Ford
took
off
like
a
flying
squirrel
An′
it
flew
halfway
around
the
world
--
Scattered
wives
and
childrens
All
over
the
side
of
that
mountain.
We
got
out
to
the
West
Coast
broke,
So
dad-gum
hungry
I
thought
I'd
croak,
An′
I
bummed
up
a
spud
or
two,
An'
my
wife
fixed
up
a
tater
stew
--
We
poured
the
kids
full
of
it,
Mighty
thin
stew,
though,
You
could
read
a
magazine
right
through
it.
Always
have
figured
That
if
it'd
been
just
a
little
bit
thinner,
Some
of
these
here
politicians
Coulda
seen
through
it.
