The Dust Bowl was a period of severe dust storms that greatly damaged the ecology and agriculture of the American and Canadian prairies during the 1930s. Extensive deep plowing of virgin topsoil during the previous decade displaced the native, deep-rooted grasses that normally trapped soil and moisture even during drought and high winds. During the drought of the 1930s, the unanchored soil turned to dust, which blew away in huge clouds that blackened the sky. The Dust Bowl was originally a reference to the geographical area affected by the dust, but today it usually refers to the event itself. • Dust Bowl Ballads , released by Victor Records in 1940, was Woody Guthrie's first commercial recording and the most successful album of his career. It is considered to be the first or one of the very first concept albums, as all the songs deal with the Dust Bowl and its effects on the country and its people. It was originally released as eleven songs on two simultaneously released three-disc set albums of 78 rpm records. The twelve sides in total had one song each except for the double-sided Tom Joad which was too long to be pressed on a single side of a 78. However, two of the thirteen songs recorded in the sessions were left out of the first album due to length. They were Pretty Boy Floyd and this song and they were not added until a new release of the album sixty years later. • Lyrics and chords: • G • I just blowed in, and I got them dust bowl blues, • ………………………………….........................…………..

G • I just blowed in, and I'll blow back out again. • I guess you've heard about ev'ry kind of blues, • I guess you've heard about ev'ry kind of blues, • But when the dust gets high, you can't even see the sky. • I've seen the dust so black that I couldn't see a thing, • I've seen the dust so black that I couldn't see a thing, • And the wind so cold, boy, it nearly cut your water off. • I seen the wind so high that it blowed my fences down, • I've seen the wind so high that it blowed my fences down, • Buried my tractor six feet underground. • Well, it turned my farm into a pile of sand, • Yes, it turned my farm into a pile of sand, • I had to hit that road with a bottle in my hand. • I spent ten years down in that old dust bowl, • I spent ten years down in that old dust bowl, • When you get that dust pneumony, boy, it's time to go. • I had a gal, and she was young and sweet, • I had a gal, and she was young and sweet, • But a dust storm buried her sixteen hundred feet. • She was a good gal, long, tall and stout, • Yes, she was a good gal, long, tall and stout, • I had to get a steam shovel just to dig my darlin' out. • These dusty blues are the dustiest ones I know, • These dusty blues are the dustiest ones I know, • Buried head over heels in the black old dust, • I had to pack up and go. • An' I just blowed in, an' I'll soon blow out again. • You can see a playlist of my Woody Guthrie songs here: • http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list... • Lyrics and chords of many of my songs are no longer available, as my website has expired.
