lirik lagu sis cunningham – my oklahoma home
[verse 1]
have you heard the old timer, the story that he tells
how he dreamed of a place to call his own
he said “i rolled across the plain and i staked myself a claim
and i settled down along the cimarron”
[chorus]
it blowed away, it blowed away
my oklahoma home, it blowed away
it looked so green and fair when i built my shanty there
but my oklahoma home, it blowed away
[verse 2]
i planted wheats and oats, got chickens and shoats
’cause there’s nothing i like better than ham and eggs
i got a mule to pull the plow, i got an old red muley cow
and i got a fancy mortgage on the place
[chorus]
it blowed away, it blowed away
my oklahoma home, it blowed away
you can’t grow any grain when there isn’t any rain
all except the mortgage blown away
[verse 3]
it blowed away my rooster and it blowed away my hens
the pigs and the cattle went astray
everything i sowed went a-foggin’ down the road
when my oklahoma home it blowed away
[chorus]
it blowed away, it blowed away
everything i owned blowed away
i hollered and i cussed when my land went up in dust
when my oklahoma home it blowed away
[verse 4]
it looked so green and fair when i built my shanty there
i figured that i was set for life
i put on my sunday best, shiny shoes and checkered vest
and i went to town and picked me out a wife
[chorus]
she blowed away, she blowed away
my oklahoma woman blowed away
just as i bent and kissed her she was picked up by a twister
my oklahoma woman blowed away
[verse 5]
then i was left alone a-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
a-travelin’ with the wind at my back
[chorus]
i blowed away, i blowed away
a-chasing a dust cloud up ahead
it looked so green and fair, now it’s up there in the air
my oklahoma home is overhead
[verse 6]
now no matter where i’m bound my home is all around
for oklahoma dust is everywhere
makes no difference where i’m walkin’
i can hear my chickens squawkin’
i can hear my wife a-talkin’ in the air
[chorus]
it blowed away, it blowed away
on the wind as the dust come rolling by
but my home is always near for it’s in the atmosphere
and it may be that i’ll go there when i die
and stake me out a new claim in the sky
