woody guthrie - talking dust bowl blues كلمات الأغنية

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 ol’ dust storm filled the sky.
and i swapped my farm for a ford machine,
and i poured it full of this gas-i-line —
and i started, rockin’ an’ a-rollin’,
over the mountains, out towards the old peach bowl.

way up yonder on a mountain road,
i had a hot motor and a heavy load,
i’s a-goin’ pretty fast, there wasn’t even stoppin’,
a-bouncin’ up and down, like popcorn poppin’ —
had a breakdown, sort of a nervous bustdown of some kind,
there was a feller there, a mechanic feller,
said it was en-gine trouble.

way up yonder on a mountain curve,
it’s way up yonder in the piney wood,
an’ i give that rollin’ ford a shove,
an’ i’s a-gonna coast as far as i could —
commence coastin’, pickin’ up speed,
was a hairpin turn, i didn’t make it.

man alive, i’m a-tellin’ you,
the fiddles and the guitars really flew.
that ford took off like a flying squirrel
an’ 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 dad-gum hungry i thought i’d croak,
an’ i b-mmed up a spud or two,
an’ my wife fixed up a tater stew —
we poured the kids full of it,
mighty thin stew, though,
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
coulda seen through it.
