We parted from the hills and landed solid on the plain 
The sky was blue as wide as eye could see
And the prairie grasses blew in the wind and in the rain 
We knew the land was calling out our name

In the Spring of ’31, we would harvest in the sun
A job well done was its own prize
But there was nothing we could do by the Fall of ‘32 
They came like moving mountains in disguise
And the land was rearranged before our eyes

Dust to breathe and dust to eat
Dust to drink in when we sleep
Couldn’t tell the darkness from the day
Like 2 midnights in a jug
The dusters barreled down on us
The only thing that we could do was wait
And hope our prayers would make it through to heaven’s gate

With God we begged and bartered
What didn’t work we tried it harder 
Tomorrow might be better than today 
In the stillness laid between
We fixed our eyes and dreamed
And said I’m sorry I cannot bring down the rain 
Maybe next year we’ll be on our feet again
