"My Oklahoma Home"

When they opened up the strip I was young and full of zipI wanted a place to call my ownAnd so I made the race, and staked me out a placeAnd settled down along the Cimarron

It blowed away, it blowed awayMy Oklahoma home, it blowed awayIt looked so green and fair when I built my shanty thereBut my Oklahoma home, it blowed away

I planted wheat and oats, got some chickens and some shoatsAimed to have some ham and eggs to feed my faceGot a mule to pull the plow, got an old red muley cowAnd got a fancy mortgage on the place

It blowed away, it blowed awayAll the crops I planted blowed awayYou can't grow any grain if there isn't any rainAll except the mortgage blowed away

It blowed away my rooster and it blowed away my hensThe pigs and cattle went astrayAll the crops that I sowed went a-foggin' down the roadMy Oklahoma farm, it blowed away

It blowed away, it blowed awayEverything I owned blowed awayI hollered and I cussed when my land went up in dustWhen my Oklahoma farm, it blowed away

It looked so green and fair, when I built my shanty thereI figured I was all set for lifeI put on my Sunday best with my fancy scalloped vestAnd went to town and picked me out a wife

She blowed away, she blowed away


9/13

My Oklahoma woman blowed awayJust as I bent and kissed her, she was picked up by a twisterMy Oklahoma woman blowed away

Then I was left alone a-listenin' to the moanOf the wind around the corners of my shack

So, I took off down the road when the south wind blowedA-travelin' with the wind at my back

I blowed away, I blowed awayChasin' a dust cloud up aheadOnce it looked so green and fair, now it's up there in the airMy Oklahoma farm is overhead

Now I'm always close to home no matter where I roamFor Oklahoma dust is everywhereMakes 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 awayMy Oklahoma home blowed awayBut my home is always near; it's in the atmosphereMy Oklahoma home that blowed away

I'm a roamin' Oklahoman, but I'm always close to homeAnd I'll never get homesick 'til I dieNo matter where I'm found, my home is all aroundMy Oklahoma home is in the sky

It blowed away, it blowed away

My farm down upon the CimarronBut all around the world, wherever dust is whirledSome is from my Oklahoma home

It blowed away, it blowed awayMy Oklahoma home blowed awayOh, it's up there in the sky in that dust cloud rolling byMy Oklahoma home is in the sky

"Shenandoah"

The Missouri, she's a might riverAway you rolling riverThe red man's camp lies on her bordersAway, we're bound away across the wideMissouri

A white man loved an Indian maidenAway you rolling riverWith notions sweet his canoe was ladenAway, we're bound away across the wideMissouri

O Shenandoah, I love your daughterAway you rolling riverI'll take her 'cross the rolling waterAway, we're bound away across the wideMissouri

The chief disdained the trader's dollarsAway you rolling riverMy daughter never you shall followAway, we're bound away across the wideMissouri

At last there came a Yankee skipperAway you rolling riverHe winked his eye, and he tipped his flipperAway, we're bound away across the wideMissouri

He sold the chief that fire-waterAway you rolling riverAnd 'cross the river he stole his daughterAway, we're bound away across the wideMissouri

O Shenandoah, I long to hear youAway you rolling riverAcross the wide and rolling water
