  S1:
  When they opened up the strip 

  I was young and full of zip 

  I wanted someplace to call my home 

  ----x---x---x x---x---x- 

  And so I made the race 

  And I staked me out a place 

  And I settled down along the Cimarron

  My Oklahoma home it blown away 

  ----x---x---x x---x---x---x

  Well it looked so green and fair 

  When I built my shanty there 

  Now my Oklahoma home is blown away

  S2:
  Well I planted wheats and oats 

  Got some chickens and some shoats 

  Aimed to have some ham and eggs to feed my face 

  x---x---x- 

  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 looked so green and fair 

  When I built my shanty there 

  I figured I was all set for life 

  ----x---x---x x---x- 

  I put on my Sunday best 

  With my fancy scalloped vest 

  And I went to town to pick me out a wife

  She blowed away (blowed away)

  She was picked up by a twister 

  My Oklahoma woman blown away

  S4:
  Well then I was left alone  

  Just listenin' to the moan 

  Of wind around the corners of my shack 

  ----x---x---x x---x---x- 

  So I took off down the road yeah 

  When the south wind blowed 

  I traveled with the wind upon my back 

  ----x---x---x x---x---x-

  I'm always close to home 

  It don't 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
