My fathers name was Hannibal, Mama was Hanna-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 the one thing money cant buy.
Were all Dust Bowl Children
Singin the dust bowl song
Well, the crops wont 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.
Well, they said in California, theres work of every kind.
The only work that I got out there was waiting on a welfare line.
Once I had a dollar, once I had a dream.
Now all the work is being done by a big ole machine.
Were all Dust Bowl Children
Singin the dust bowl song
And the crops wont 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.
