Album: Paper Airplane (2011) Songwriter: Peter Rowan
My father's name was Hannibal, Mama was Hanna-Mariah Everything we owned got all burned up in the great depression fire Strip mines and one crop farming drained the green earth dry We lost it all till only love was left, and the one thing money can't buy
We're all Dust Bowl Children Singin' the dust bowl song And the crops won't grow And the dust just blows
When the green fields are gone When the green grass growing fields are gone When the green fields are gone When the green grass growing fields are gone
Well, they said in California, there's work of every kind The only work that I got out there was waiting on a welfare line Once I had a dollar, once I had a dream Now all the work is being done by a big ole machine
We're all Dust Bowl Children Singin' the dust bowl song And the crops won't grow And the dust just blows
When the green fields are gone When the green grass growing fields are gone When the green fields are gone When the green grass growing fields are gone
