I'm a-goin' where the dust storms never blow,
I'm a-goin' where the dust storms never blow,
I'ma-goin' where the dust storms never blow, blow, blow ,
They say I'm a dust bowl refugee,
Yes,They say I'm a dust bowl refugee,
They say I'm a dust bowl refugee, Lord, Lord,
I'm a-lookin' fora job at honest pay,
I'm a-lookin' fora job at honest pay,
I'm a-lookin' fora job at honest pay,Lord, Lord,
My children need three square meals a day,
Now,My children need three square meals a day,

It takes a ten-dollar shoe to fit my feet,
It takes a ten-dollar shoe to fit my feet,

Your a-two-dollar shoe hurts my feet,
Yourtwo-dollar shoe hurts my feet,
