I re^F#mmember that summer I was ^Dten years old When our ^Adays ceased to ^Eshine No, you ^F#mcould not take a breath When those ^Dblack blizzards came Strippin' ^Aland in dire need of ^Erain

[Verse]

There was ^F#mdirt on the floor As mama ^Dswept all day long Leavin' ^Atrails of tears and mud down her ^Eface There was ^F#mdirt in our beds And there was ^Ddirt in our clothes And there was ^Adirt in the little that we ^Eate

[Verse]

We had ^F#mheard about the market's fall A ^Dcouple years before But the ^Afields and the harvest all seemed ^Efine Some^F#mtimes the things that kill us ^DThat which we don't know That ^Astrip the land of everything but ^Epride

[Chorus]

^AStay close together ^F#mThat's all we knew to get ^Eby ^E ^E ^E I re^Acall a helpless feelin' ^F#mFirst time that I sa-^Eaw my father cry ^DLooking back on everything we ^Ahad And on everything we ^Elos^Et ^E ^E ^AStill makes me wonder^F#m Was staying wo-rth the ^Ecos^Et ^E ^E

[Verse]

A lot of ^F#mtown folk up and left They boarded ^Dup the schools and banks And the ^Achurches And that, to me, was ^Ewrong Come next ^F#myear, it would be better For the ^Dlast one standing tall For the ^Aones - that showed the most ^Eresolve

[Verse]

They a^F#mnnounced the New Deal With the Conser^Dvation Act and then The ^ARelief Fund - we were on our ^Eknees There was ^F#mlittle hope by then So we just ^Dstood there in that line And we ^Athanked the man for that little bit of ^Echeese

[Chorus]
