Dust Bowl Children lyrics

My father’s name was Hannibal
Mama was Hanna-Mariah
Everything we owned got all
Burned up in the great depression fire

Strip mines and one crop farming
Drained the green earth dry
We lost it all till only love was left
And that was the one thing money can’t buy

We’re all Dust Bowl Children
Singin’ the dust bowl song
Well, the crops won’t grow
And the dust just blows
When the green fields are gone
When the green grass growing fields are gone
When the green fields are gone
When the green grass growing fields are gone

Well, they said in California
There’s work of every kind
The only work that I got out
There was waiting on a welfare line

Once I had a dollar
Once I had a dream
Now all the work is being done
By a big ole machine

We’re all Dust Bowl Children
Singin’ the dust bowl song
And the crops won’t grow
And the dust just blows
When the green fields are gone
When the green grass growing fields are gone
When the green fields are gone
When the green grass growing fields are gone
