[00:00.92]Talking Dust Bowl Blues(Alternate Version) - Woody Guthrie
[00:08.85]Back in Nineteen Twenty Seven,
[00:10.78]I had a little farm
[00:11.91]and I called that heaven.
[00:12.89]Well, the prices up
[00:14.04]and the rain come down,
[00:15.18]And I hauled my crops all into town
[00:16.91]I got the money,
[00:17.80]
[00:19.14]bought clothes and groceries,
[00:20.72]
[00:22.58]Fed the kids, and raised a family.
[00:24.66]
[00:25.92]Rain quit and the wind got high,
[00:28.16]And the black old dust storm
[00:29.56]filled the sky.
[00:30.22]And I swapped my farm
[00:31.24]for a Ford machine,
[00:32.28]And I poured it full of this gasiline
[00:34.50]And I started, rocking and rolling,
[00:37.41]Over the mountains,
[00:38.33]tking steps the light that to California
[00:41.05]~ MUSIC ~
[00:51.33]Way up yonder on a mountain road,
[00:53.34]I had a hot motor and a heavy load,
[00:55.15]It's going pretty fast,
[00:56.41]there wasn't even stopping,
[00:57.50]A bouncing up and down,
[00:58.42]like popcorn popping
[00:59.64]Had a breakdown,
[01:00.42]
[01:01.69]sometimes of a nervous bustdown of some kind,
[01:04.27]There was a feller there,
[01:05.22]a mechanic feller,
[01:05.87]Said it was engine trouble.
[01:08.02]
[01:10.53]Way up yonder on a mountain curve,
[01:12.55]It's way up yonder in the piney wood,
[01:14.48]And I give that rolling Ford a shove,
[01:16.56]And I was gonna coast as far as I could
[01:18.68]
[01:19.76]Commence rolling,
[01:20.72]
[01:21.83]picking up speed,
[01:22.98]
[01:24.05]Was a hairpin turn,
[01:25.82]And I didn't make it.
[01:27.93]
[01:30.44]Man alive, I'm telling you,
[01:32.50]The fiddles and the guitars really flew.
[01:34.35]That Ford took off
[01:35.49]like a flying squirrel
[01:36.67]And it flew halfway around the world
[01:38.72]
[01:39.91]Scattered wives and childrens
[01:41.24]All over the side of that mountain.
[01:43.60]
[01:45.35]We got out to the West Coast broke,
[01:47.50]So that gum hungry I thought I'd croak,
[01:49.40]And I bummed up a spud or two,
[01:51.35]And my wife fixed up a tater stew
[01:53.56]
[01:54.77]And we poured the kids full of it,
[01:56.76]
[01:57.39]Like a farmer whose running around
[01:59.55]Let's do this thing
[02:00.92]
[02:02.78]You could read a magazine
[02:03.91]right through it.
[02:04.48]
[02:08.12]Always have figured
[02:09.07]That if it'd been just a little bit thinner,
[02:11.10]
[02:13.12]Some of these here politicians
[02:15.53]Could a seen through it.
