Back in [D] 1927 [E] I had a little farm and I called that [A] heaven.
Well, the prices up and [D] the rain come down and [E] I hauled my crops all into town.
I [A] got the money, bought clothes and groceries, [E] fed the kids and [A] raised the family.
The rain quit [D] and the wind got [E] high and a black hole dust storm filled the [A] sky.
And I swapped my farm for [D] a Ford machine and [E] I poured it full of this gas [A] I leaned in and I started
[D] rocking and rolling [E] over the mountains out [A] towards the old peach bowl.
Way up yonder [D] on a mountain road I had a hot motor and a heavy [A] load.
I was going pretty [D] fast, I wasn't even [E] stopping.
I'm bouncing up and down like [A] popcorn popping.
I had a breakdown.
[D] I'm sort of a nervous bust down of some [E] kind.
There was a fellow [B] there, a mechanic fellow, said it was [A] engine trouble.

[B] [A] Way up yonder [D] on a mountain curve [E] is the way up yonder in the piney wood.
And I give that [D] rolling Ford a [E] shove and I was going to [A] coast as far as I could.
[D] Commenced coasting, [B] picking up speed.
[E] Was a hairpin turn.
I [A] didn't make it.
Man alive, I'm telling [E] you, the fiddles and the guitars [A] really flew.
That Ford took off like a flying squirrel and [E] it flew halfway [A] around the world.
Scattered wives and children [B] all over the side of that [A] mountain.
[E] [A] We got out to the West Coast [D] broke, so that gum [E] hungry I thought I'd croak.
And I bummed [D] up a spud or [E] two and my wife fixed up a tater [A] stew.
[D] We poured the kids full of it.
[A] Mighty thin stew though, [E] you could read a magazine [A] right through it.
Always [D] have figured [E] that if it had been just a little bit thinner,
some of these here politicians could have seen [A] through it.
