DWhen they opened up the strip I was Gyoung and full of Dzip,
I wanted some place to call my Ahome
And Dso I made the race, and I Gstaked me out a Dplace,
And I settled down Aalong the CimaDrron
           G                              D
It blowed away,(BLOWED AWAY!), it blowed away, (BLOWED AWAY!)
My Oklahoma home, it blowed aAway 
It Dlooked so green and fair when I Gbuilt my shanty Dthere,
But my Oklahoma Ahome, it blowed aDway
I Dplanted wheat and oats, had some Gchickens and some Dshoats,
DAimed to have some ham and eggs to Afeed my face
Got a Dmule to pull the plow, got an Gold red muley Dcow
DAnd I also got a fancy Amortgage on the Dplace
It blowed aGway,(BLOWED AWAY!), it blowed aDway, (BLOWED AWAY!)
All the crops that I have planted blowed aAway
You Dcan't grow any grain if you Gain’t got any Drain;
Everything except my Amortgage blowed aDway
It Dlooked so green and fair, when I Gbuilt my shanty Dthere,
I figured I was all set for Alife
I put Don my Sunday best with my Gfancy scalloped Dvest
And I went to town to Apick me out a Dwife
It blowed aGway,(BLOWED AWAY!), it blowed aDway, (BLOWED AWAY!)
My Oklahoma woman blowed aAway
Mister Das I bent and kissed her, she was Gpicked up by a Dtwister;
My Oklahoma Awoman blowed aDway
Then DI was left alone just a-Glistenin' to the Dmoan
‘the Dwind around the corners of my Ashack;
So I Dtook off down the road Gwhen the south wind Dblowed,
A-travelin' with the Awind upon my Dback
It blowed aGway, (BLOWED AWAY!), it blowed Daway, (BLOWED AWAY!)
Chasin' that dust cloud up aAhead
Once it Dlooked so green and fair, now Git's up there in the Dair;
My Oklahoma Afarm is over Dhead
Now I'm Dalways close to home it don’t Gmatter where I Droam,
For Oklahoma dust is everyAwhere
Makes no Ddifference where I'm walkin', I can Ghear my chickens Dsquawkin'
I can hear my wife a-Atalkin' in the Dair
It blowed aGway,(BLOWED AWAY!), it blowed aDway, (BLOWED AWAY!)
My Oklahoma home blowed aAway
But my Dhome is always near; it's up Gin the atmosDphere,
My Oklahoma Ahome is blown aDway
I'm a Droamin' Oklahoman, but I'm Galways close to Dhome
And I'll never get homesick until I Adie
Cause no Dmatter where I'm found, my Ghome is all aDround;
My Oklahoma Ahome is in the Dsky
It blowed aGway,(BLOWED AWAY!), it blowed aDway, (BLOWED AWAY!)
My farm down on the CimarAron
But Dall around the world, wherGever dust is Dswirled,
There’s some from my AOklahoma Dhome
It blowed aGway,(BLOWED AWAY!), it blowed aDway, (BLOWED AWAY!)
My Oklahoma home is blown aAway
Yeah it's Dup there in the sky in that Gdust cloud over n’ Dby,
My Oklahoma Ahome is in the Dsky 
            A              D

D G D

When they opened up the strip I was young and full of zip,

I wanted some place to call my home

D G D

And so I made the race, and I staked me out a place,

A D

And I settled down along the Cimarron

G D

It blowed away,(BLOWED AWAY!), it blowed away, (BLOWED AWAY!)

My Oklahoma home, it blowed away

D G D

It looked so green and fair when I built my shanty there,

A D

But my Oklahoma home, it blowed away

D G D

I planted wheat and oats, had some chickens and some shoats,

D A

Aimed to have some ham and eggs to feed my face

D G D

Got a mule to pull the plow, got an old red muley cow

D A D

And I also got a fancy mortgage on the place

G D

It blowed away,(BLOWED AWAY!), it blowed away, (BLOWED AWAY!)

All the crops that I have planted blowed away

D G D

You can't grow any grain if you ain’t got any rain;

A D

Everything except my mortgage blowed away

D G D

It looked so green and fair, when I built my shanty there,

I figured I was all set for life

D G D

I put on my Sunday best with my fancy scalloped vest

A D

And I went to town to pick me out a wife

G D

It blowed away,(BLOWED AWAY!), it blowed away, (BLOWED AWAY!)

My Oklahoma woman blowed away

D G D

Mister as I bent and kissed her, she was picked up by a twister;

A D

My Oklahoma woman blowed away

D G D

Then I was left alone just a-listenin' to the moan

D A

‘the wind around the corners of my shack;

D G D

So I took off down the road when the south wind blowed,

A D

A-travelin' with the wind upon my back

G D

It blowed away, (BLOWED AWAY!), it blowed away, (BLOWED AWAY!)

Chasin' that dust cloud up ahead

D G D

Once it looked so green and fair, now it's up there in the air;

A D

My Oklahoma farm is over head

D G D

Now I'm always close to home it don’t matter where I roam,

For Oklahoma dust is everywhere

D G D

Makes no difference where I'm walkin', I can hear my chickens squawkin'

A D

I can hear my wife a-talkin' in the air

G D

It blowed away,(BLOWED AWAY!), it blowed away, (BLOWED AWAY!)

My Oklahoma home blowed away

D G D

But my home is always near; it's up in the atmosphere,

A D

My Oklahoma home is blown away

D G D

I'm a roamin' Oklahoman, but I'm always close to home

And I'll never get homesick until I die

D G D

Cause no matter where I'm found, my home is all around;

A D

My Oklahoma home is in the sky

G D

It blowed away,(BLOWED AWAY!), it blowed away, (BLOWED AWAY!)

My farm down on the Cimarron

D G D

But all around the world, wherever dust is swirled,

A D

There’s some from my Oklahoma home

G D

It blowed away,(BLOWED AWAY!), it blowed away, (BLOWED AWAY!)

My Oklahoma home is blown away

D G D

Yeah it's up there in the sky in that dust cloud over n’ by,

A D

My Oklahoma home is in the sky
