My Oklahoma Home

When they opened up the strip I was young and full of zip

I wanted some place to call my own

And so I made the race, and staked me out a place

And settled down along the Cimarron

It blowed away, it blowed away

My Oklahoma home, it blowed away

Well, it looked so green and fair when I built my shanty there

My Oklahoma home, it blowed away

Well,I planted wheat and oats, got some chickens and some shoats

Aimed to have some ham and eggs to feed my face

Got a mule to pull the plow, got an old red muley cow

And I also got a fancy mortgage on this place

It blowed away, it blowed away

All the crops I have planted blowed away

Well,you can't grow any grain if you ain't got any rain

Everything except my mortgage blowed away

Well,it looked so green and fair, when I built my shanty there

I figured I was all set for life

I put on my Sunday best with my fancy scalloped vest

And went to town and picked me out a wife

She blowed away, she blowed away

My Oklahoma woman blowed away

Mister as I bent and kissed her, she was picked up by a twister

My Oklahoma woman blowed away

Well,then I was left alone just a-listenin' to the moan

Of the wind around the corners of my shack

So I took off down the road when the south wind blowed

A-travelin' with the wind upon my back

I blowed away, I blowed away

Chasin that dust cloud up ahead

Once it looked so green and fair, now it's up there in the air

My Oklahoma farm is overhead

Now I'm always close to home no matter where I roam

For Oklahoma dust is everywhere

Makes no difference where I'm walkin', I can hear my chickens squawkin'

I can hear my wife a-talkin' in the air

It blowed away, it blowed away

My Oklahoma home blowed away

But my home is always near; it's in the atmosphere

My Oklahoma home that blowed away

Now I'm a roamin' Oklahoman, but I'm always close to home

And I'll never get homesick 'till I die

'Cause no matter where I'm found, my home is all around

My Oklahoma home is in the sky

It blowed away, it blowed away

My farm down upon the Cimarron

Well now,all around the world, wherever dust is whirled

There's some from my Oklahoma home

It blowed away, it blowed away

Yeah, my Oklahoma home blowed away

Yes it's up there in the sky in that dust cloud rolling by, my Oklahoma home is blowed away

Well, it's blowed away, it blowed away

My Oklahoma home is blowed away

It's up there in the sky in that dust cloud rolling by, my Oklahoma home is in the sky
