woody guthrie - Talking Dust Bowl Blues (Alternate Version)
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 old dust storm
Filled the sky
And I swapped my farm
For a Ford machine
And I poured it full of this gasiline
And I started rocking and rolling
Over the mountains
Tking steps the light that to California
Way up yonder on a mountain road
I had a hot motor and a heavy load
It's going pretty fast
There wasn't even stopping
A bouncing up and down
Like popcorn popping
Had a breakdown
Sometimes of a nervous bustdown of some kind
There was a feller there
A mechanic feller
Said it was engine trouble
Way up yonder on a mountain curve
It's way up yonder in the piney wood
And I give that rolling Ford a shove
And I was gonna coast as far as I could
Commence rolling
Picking up speed
Was a hairpin turn
And I didn't make it
Man alive I'm telling you
The fiddles and the guitars really flew
That Ford took off
Like a flying squirrel
And 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 that gum hungry I thought I'd croak
And I bummed up a spud or two
And my wife fixed up a tater stew
And we poured the kids full of it
Like a farmer whose running around
Let's do this thing
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
Could a seen through it
