 Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

Back in nineteen thirty-three
Livin' in the dust was a killin' me

Back in  nineteen thirty-four
The dust it ??? blew some more

Long come nineteen thirty-five
Blowed my crops about nine miles high

'Long about nineteen thirty-six
Me and my wife in a devil of a fix
Me and my wife in a devil of a fix
Me and my wife in a devil of a fix

'Long about nineteen thirty-nine
We fanned our tails for that Oregon line
Fanned our tails for that Oregon line
Fanned our tails for that Oregon line

We got a hold of a piece of land
Fifteen miles from the Coulee dam
Fifteen miles from the Coulee dam
Fifteen miles from the Coulee dam

Now coulee dam is a sight to see
Makes this e-lec-a-tric-i-tee
Makes this e-lec-a-tric-i-tee
Makes this e-lec-a-tric-i-tee

Well, Oregon state is mighty fine
If you're hooked on to the power line

There just ain't no country extra fine
If you're just a mile from the end o' the line

Ah, milk my cows and turn my stone
Till the big Grand Coullee boys come along

My eyes are crossed, my back's in a cramp
Tryin' to read my Bible by my coal-oil lamp
Tryin' to read my Bible by my coal-oil lamp
Tryin' to read my Bible by my coal-oil lamp

Yes, I come to the end of the line
Yes, I come to the end of the line
Yes, I come to the end of the line
Yes, I come to the end of the line

Ain't no country extra fine
If you ain't long from the end o' the line

Ain't no country extra fine
If you ain't long from the power line

Well, I guess I come to the end of the line
Yes, I come to the end of the line
I guess I come to the end of the line
Yes, I come to the end of the line
