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 settled down along the Cimarron 

It blowed away, it blowed away 
My Oklahoma home, it blown away 
Well it looked so green and fair 
when I built my shanty there 
My Oklahoma home, it blown away 

Well I planted wheats and oats, 
got some chickens and some shoats 
Aimed to have some ham and eggs to feed my face 
Got a mule to pull the plow, 
I got an old red muley cow 
And I also got a fancy mortgage on this place 

Well it blowed away it blowed away 
All the crops that I've planted blown away 
Well you can't grow any grain 
if you ain't got any rain 
Everything except my mortgage blown away 

Well 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 
Then I went to town to pick me out a wife 

She blowed away, she blowed away 
My Oklahoma woman blown away 
Mr as I bent to kiss her, 
she was picked up by a twister 
My Oklahoma woman blown away 

Well then I was left alone 
just listening to the moan 
Of the wind around the corners of my shack 
So I took off down the road, 
when the south wind blowed 
I traveled with the wind upon my back 

I blowed away, I blowed away 
Chasin' that dust cloud up ahead 
Well once it looked so green and fair 
and now it's up in the air 
My Oklahoma farm is over head 

And now I'm always close to home, 
it don'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-talking in the air 

It blowed away, it blowed away 
my Oklahoma home is blown away 
But my home Sir, is always near, 
it's up here in the atmosphere 
My Oklahoma home is blown away 

Well I'm a roam'n 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's all around 
My Oklahoma home is in the sky 

It blowed away, it blowed away 
And my farm down on Cimarron 
But now all around the world 
wherever the dust is swirled 
There is some from my Oklahoma home 

It blowed away, it blowed away 
my Oklahoma home is blown away 
it's up there in the sky 
in that dust cloud over n' by 
My Oklahoma home is blown away
