Alison Krauss & Union Station - Dust Bowl Children lyrics

My father's name was Hannibal Mama was Hannah Mariah Everything we owned got all burned up In the Great Depression fire Strip mines and one-crop farming Drained the green earth dry We lost it all till only love was left And that was one thing money can't buy We're all Dust Bowl children Singin' the Dust Bowl song And the crops won't grow And the dust just blows When the green fields are gone When the green gra** growing fields are gone When the green fields are gone When the green gra** growing fields are gone They said in California there was work of every kind Well, the only job I ever got out there Was waiting on a welfare line Once I had a dollar Once I had a dream But now all the work is being done by a big ole machine We're all Dust Bowl children Singin' the Dust Bowl song And the crops won't grow And the dust just blows When the green fields are gone When the green gra** growing fields are gone When the green fields are gone When the green gra** growing fields are gone
