My Oklahoma Home Blowed Away

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