The Felice Brothers – The Great Dust Storm Lyrics
Artist: The Felice Brothers
Song: The Great Dust Storm
On the fourteenth day of April of 1935
There struck the worst of dust storms that ever filled the sky
You could see that dust storm comin’
The cloud looked deathlike black
And through our mighty nation, it left a dreadful track
From Oklahoma City to the Arizona line
And Dakota and Nebraska to the lazy Rio Grande
It fell across our cities like a curtain of black rolled down
We thought it was our judgement
And we thought it was our doom
Come down
The radio reported, we listened with alarm
The wild and windy actions of this great mysterious storm
Our relatives were huddled into their oil boom shacks
And the children, they were crying as it whistled through the cracks
As it whistled through the cracks
And the family, it was crowded into their little room
They thought the world had ended
And they thought it was their doom
The storm took place at sundown, it lasted through the night
When we looked out next morning, we saw a terrible sight
We saw outside our window where wheat fields, they had grown
Was now a rippling ocean of dust the wind had blown
We loaded our jalopies and piled our families in
We rattled down the highway never to come back again
Never to come back again
