《The Great Dust Bowl Storm》歌词

[00:00:00] The Great Dust Bowl Storm - Paul Robeson (罗伯逊)

[00:00:03] On the 14th day of April of 1935

[00:00:10] There struck the worst of dust

[00:00:12] Storms that ever filled the sky

[00:00:17] You could see that dust storm comin'

[00:00:20] The cloud looked deathlike black

[00:00:23] And through our mighty nation

[00:00:27] It left a dreadful track

[00:00:30] From Oklahoma City to

[00:00:34] He Arizona line

[00:00:37] Dakota and Nebraska to

[00:00:41] The lazy Rio Grande

[00:00:44] It fell across our city like a curtain

[00:00:49] Of black rolled down

[00:00:51] We thought it was our judgement

[00:00:54] We thought it was our doom

[00:00:58] The radio reported we listened with alarm

[00:01:05] The wild and windy actions of

[00:01:08] This great mysterious storm;

[00:01:11] From Albuquerque and Clovis and all New Mexico

[00:01:18] They said it was the blackest that ever they had saw

[00:01:25] From old Dodge City Kansas

[00:01:28] The dust had rung their knell

[00:01:32] And a few more comrades

[00:01:34] Sleeping on top of old Boot Hill

[00:01:39] From Denver Colorado

[00:01:42] they said it blew so strong

[00:01:45] They thought that they could hold out

[00:01:48] But they didn't know how long

[00:01:52] Our relatives were huddled

[00:01:55] Into their oil boom shacks

[00:01:59] And the children they was cryin' as

[00:02:02] It whistled through the cracks

[00:02:06] And the family it was crowded into their little room

[00:02:13] They thought the world had ended

[00:02:16] And they thought it was their doom

[00:02:20] The storm took place at sundown

[00:02:23] It lasted through the night

[00:02:26] When we looked out next morning

[00:02:30] we saw a terrible sight

[00:02:33] We saw outside our window

[00:02:37] Where wheat fields they had grown

[00:02:41] Was now a rippling ocean of dust the wind had blown

[00:02:48] It covered up our fences it covered up our barns

[00:02:55] It covered up our tractors in this wild and dusty storm

[00:03:02] We loaded our jalopies and piled our families in

[00:03:08] We rattled down that

[00:03:11] Highway to never come back again
