I just blowed in and I got them dust bowl blues.

I guess you've heard about every kind of blues.

[E] But when the dust gets high, you can't even [A] see the sky.
I've seen the dust so black that I couldn't see a thing.

I've seen the wind so high that it blowed my fences down.

[E] Buried my tractor six [A] feet underground.
[B] [A] Well it turned my farm into a pile of sand.
Yes it turned my farm into a pile of sand.
I [E] had to hit that road with a bundle [A] in my hand.
I spent ten years down in that old dust bowl.

[E] When you get that dust pneumonia, boy it's [A] time to go.
I had a gal and she was young and sweet.

[E] But a dust storm buried her sixteen [A] hundred feet.
She was a good gal, long, tall and stout.
Yes she was a good gal, long, tall and stout.
I [E] had to get a steam shovel just to dig my [A] darling out.
These dusty blues are the dustiest ones I know.
These dusty blues are the dustiest ones I know.
[E] Buried head over heels in the black old dust.
I had [A] to pack up and go [E] and it just blowed in.
And I'll soon blow [A] out again.
