When they opened up the strip

I was young and full of zip

I wanted some place to call my own

And so I made the race

and staked me out a place

And settled down along the Cimarron

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

I planted wheat 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

Got an old red muley cow

And also got a fancy mortgage

on the place

It blowed away it blowed away

All the crops I planted blowed away

You can't grow any grain

if you ain't got any rain

All except the mortgage blowed away

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

And went to town

and picked me out a wife

She blowed away she blowed away

My Oklahoma woman blowed away

Mister as I bent and kissed her

She was picked up by a twister

My Oklahoma woman blowed away

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 traveling with the wind at my back

I blowed away I blowed away

Chasing a dust cloud up ahead

Once it looked so green and fair

Now it's up there in the air

My Oklahoma farm is overhead

Now I'm always close to home no matter

where I roam

For Oklahoma dust is everywhere

Makes no difference where I'm walking

I can hear my chickens squawking

I can hear my wife a talking in the air

It blowed away it blowed away

My Oklahoma home blowed away

But my home is always near

It's in the atmosphere

My Oklahoma home that blowed away

I'm a roaming Oklahoman

But I'm always close to home

And I'll never get homesick 'til I die

No matter where I'm found

My home is all around

My Oklahoma home is in the sky

It blowed away it blowed away

My farm down upon the Cimarron

But all around the world

wherever dust is whirled

Some is from my Oklahoma home

It blowed away it blowed away

My Oklahoma home blowed away

Oh it's up there in the sky in

That dust cloud rolling by

My Oklahoma home is in the sky
