_ _ I'm a dust bowl refugee, _ _ just a dust bowl [A] refugee, _ [D] from that dust bowl to the peach

_ [A] for a dust bowl [D] refugee. _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ [D] _ _ _ Hard it's always been that way, here today and on [A] our way, [D] down that mountain, cross
the desert, [A] just a dust bowl [D] refugee. _
We are ramblers, so they say, we are only [A] here today, [D] then we travel with the seasons,
[A] we're the dust bowl [D] refugees.
_ _ _ From the south land and the drought land, come the wife and [A] kids and me, and [D] this old
world is a hard world [A] for a dust bowl _ [D] refugee.
_ Yes, we _ ramble and we roll, and the highway, [A] that's our home, _ [D] it's a never _ -ending highway
[A] for a dust bowl [D] refugee. _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ Yes, we wander and we work, in your crops and in [A] your fruit, like [D] the _ whirlwinds on
the desert, [A] that's the dust bowl [D] refugees.
_ _ I'm a dust bowl refugee, _ _ I'm a dust bowl [A] refugee, _ _ [D] and I wonder, _ will I always [A] be a dust bowl [D] refugee?

when we got to that country and they got to calling us dust bowl refugees, why,
_ _ a lot of people from Oklahoma that had worked hard all their lives, _ and split white oak
stays and made walnut timber and split up walnut timber, _ a lot of them had made moonshine
liquor, a lot of them had drilled oil wells, a lot of them picked that cotton, _ a lot of
them had little farms around over the country that they raised different crops on.
_ _ But anyway, _ _ _ they'd walked across the desert with blisters all over their feet, _ _ 1,500 or
2,000 miles trying to find a job or work, they'd already outgrown _ any little old kind
of a word like a dust bowl refugee that _ fellers had called them. _ _
