I just blowed in, and I got them dust bowl blues,
I just blowed in, and I got them dust bowl blues,
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.
Woody Guthrie (1912-1967) è stato un cantautore, musicista e attivista americano considerato uno dei pionieri della musica folk americana moderna. Nato a Okemah, Oklahoma, Guthrie ha trascorso la sua infanzia durante la Grande Depressione, un'esperienza che ha profondamente influenzato la sua musica. Le sue canzoni spesso trattavano temi sociali come la povertà, l'ingiustizia e il lavoro, diventando una voce per i lavoratori e gli oppressi. ?? Guthrie è stato un sostenitore fervente del Partito Comunista americano e ha utilizzato la sua musica per promuovere le cause socialiste. La sua influenza sulla musica folk americana è immensa, ispirando generazioni di artisti come Bob Dylan, Joan Baez e Bruce Springsteen. Alcuni dei suoi brani più famosi includono 'This Land Is Your Land', 'Blowin' in the Wind' (anche se quest'ultima è stata resa celebre da Bob Dylan) e 'Deportee (Plane Wreck at Los Gatos)'.
