Dust Storm Disaster - Woody Guthrie
On the 14th day of April of 1935

There struck the worst of dust storms that ever filled the sky

You could see that dust storm comin＇
The cloud looked deathlike black
And through our mighty nation it left a dreadful track

From Oklahoma City to the Arizona line

Dakota and Nebraska to the lazy Rio Grande
It fell across our city like a curtain of black rolled down
We thought it was our judgement
We thought it was our doom
The radio reported we listened with alarm
The wild and windy actions of this great mysterious storm;

From Albuquerque and Clovis and all New Mexico

They said it was the blackest that ever they had saw

From old Dodge City Kansas the dust had rung their knell
And a few more comrades sleeping on top of old Boot Hill

From Denver Colorado they said it blew so strong
They thought that they could hold out
But they didn＇t know how long
Our relatives were huddled into their oil boom shacks

And the children they was cryin＇
As it whistled through the cracks

And the family it was crowded into their little room

They thought the world had ended
And they thought it was their doom

The storm took place at sundown
It lasted through the night

When we looked out next morning
We saw a terrible sight

We saw outside our window
Where wheat fields they had grown

Was now a rippling ocean
Of dust the wind had blown
It covered up our fences
It covered up our barns
It covered up our tractors
In this wild and dusty storm
We loaded our jalopies and piled our families in
We rattled down that highway
To never come back again
