DGD
When they opened up the strip I was young and full of zip,
A
I wanted some place to call my home
DGD
And so I made the race, and I staked me out a place,
AD
And I settled down along the Cimarron
GD
It blowed away,(BLOWED AWAY!), it blowed away, (BLOWED AWAY!)
A
My Oklahoma home, it blowed away
DGD
It looked so green and fair when I built my shanty there,
AD
But my Oklahoma home, it blowed away
DGD
I planted wheat and oats, had some chickens and some shoats,
DA
Aimed to have some ham and eggs to feed my face
DGD
Got a mule to pull the plow, got an old red muley cow
DAD
And I also got a fancy mortgage on the place
GD
It blowed away,(BLOWED AWAY!), it blowed away, (BLOWED AWAY!)
A
All the crops that I have planted blowed away
DGD
You can't grow any grain if you ain’t got any rain;
AD
Everything except my mortgage blowed away
DGD
It looked so green and fair, when I built my shanty there,
A
I figured I was all set for life
DGD
I put on my Sunday best with my fancy scalloped vest
AD
And I went to town to pick me out a wife
GD
It blowed away,(BLOWED AWAY!), it blowed away, (BLOWED AWAY!)
A
My Oklahoma woman blowed away
DGD
Mister as I bent and kissed her, she was picked up by a twister;
AD
My Oklahoma woman blowed away
DGD
Then I was left alone just a-listenin' to the moan
DA
‘the wind around the corners of my shack;
DGD
So I took off down the road when the south wind blowed,
AD
A-travelin' with the wind upon my back
GD
It blowed away,(BLOWED AWAY!), it blowed away, (BLOWED AWAY!)
A
Chasin' that dust cloud up ahead
DGD
Once it looked so green and fair, now it's up there in the air;
AD
My Oklahoma farm is over head
DGD
Now I'm always close to home it don’t matter where I roam,
A
For Oklahoma dust is everywhere
DGD
Makes no difference where I'm walkin', I can hear my chickens squawkin'
AD
I can hear my wife a-talkin' in the air
GD
It blowed away,(BLOWED AWAY!), it blowed away, (BLOWED AWAY!)
A
My Oklahoma home blowed away
DGD
But my home is always near; it's up in the atmosphere,
AD
My Oklahoma home is blown away
DGD
I'm a roamin' Oklahoman, but I'm always close to home
A
And I'll never get homesick until I die
DGD
Cause no matter where I'm found, my home is all around;
AD
My Oklahoma home is in the sky
GD
It blowed away,(BLOWED AWAY!), it blowed away, (BLOWED AWAY!)
A
My farm down on the Cimarron
DGD
But all around the world, wherever dust is swirled,
AD
There’s some from my Oklahoma home
GD
It blowed away,(BLOWED AWAY!), it blowed away, (BLOWED AWAY!)
A
My Oklahoma home is blown away
DGD
Yeah it's up there in the sky in that dust cloud over n’ by,
AD
My Oklahoma home is in the sky
AD
My Oklahoma home is in the sky
