[00:21.44]My father's name was Hannibal, Mama was Hanna-Mariah
[00:26.33]Everything we owned got all burned up in the great depression fire
[00:31.05]Strip mines and one crop farming drained the green earth dry
[00:36.94]We lost it all till only love was left, and the one thing money can't buy
[00:42.24]
[00:43.27]We're all Dust Bowl Children
[00:51.15]Singin' the dust bowl song
[00:57.52]And the crops won't grow
[01:01.51]And the dust just blows
[01:05.58]
[01:06.13]When the green fields are gone
[01:09.78]When the green grass growing fields are gone
[01:13.76]When the green fields are gone
[01:17.68]When the green grass growing fields are gone
[01:21.11]
[01:39.23]Well, they said in California, there's work of every kind
[01:45.75]The only work that I got out there was waiting on a welfare line
[01:52.72]Once I had a dollar, once I had a dream
[01:59.26]Now all the work is being done by a big ole machine
[02:04.19]
[02:05.63]We're all Dust Bowl Children
[02:13.36]Singin' the dust bowl song
[02:20.69]And the crops won't grow
[02:24.83]And the dust just blows
[02:28.66]
[02:29.23]When the green fields are gone
[02:32.97]When the green grass growing fields are gone
[02:36.64]When the green fields are gone
[02:40.61]When the green grass growing fields are gone
[02:44.30]
