[Audience in bold]
When they opened up the strip I was young and full of zip
Wanted some place to call my home
And so I made the race, and I staked me out a place
And I settled down along the Cimarron

It blowed away, blowed away, it blowed away, blowed away
Yeah, my Oklahoma home is blown away
Well, it looked so green and fair when I built my shanty there
Now my Oklahoma home is blown away

Come on!

Well, I planted wheats and oats, had some chickens and some shoats
Aimed to have some ham and eggs to feed my face
I got a mule to pull the plow, got an old red muley cow
And I also got a fancy mortgage on this place

Well, it blowed away, blowed away, it blowed away, blowed away
All the crops that I've planted blown away
Well, you can’t grow any grain if you ain't got any rain
Everything except my mortgage blown away

Soozie Tyrell!

Well, it looked so green and fair when I built my shanty there
Figured I was all set for life
I put on my Sunday best with my fancy scalloped vest
Then I went to town to pick me out a wife
