| Back in nineteen thirty-three
|
| Livin' in the dust was a killin' me
|
| Back in nineteen thirty-four
|
| The dust did rose and blowed some more
|
| 'Long come nineteen thirty-five
|
| Blowed my crop about nine mile high
|
| 'Long about nineteen thirty-six
|
| Me and my woman in a devil of a fix
|
| Me and my woman in a devil of a fix
|
| Me and my woman in a devil of a fix
|
| 'Long about nineteen thirty-nine

| We fanned our tails for that Oregon line
|
| Fanned our tails to the Oregon line
|
| Fanned our tails to the Oregon line
|
| We got a hold of a piece of land
|
| Fifteen miles from the Coulee dam
|
| Fifteen miles from the Coulee dam
|
| Fifteen miles from the Coulee dam
|
| Now, the Coulee dam is a sight to see
|
| Makes this e-lec-a-tric-i-tee
|
| Makes this e-lec-a-tric-i-tee

| Well, Oregon state is mighty fine
|
| If you’re hooked on to the power line
|
| But there ain’t no country extra fine
|
| If you’re just a mile from the end o' the line
|
| I milk my cows and turn my stone
|
| Till the big Grand Coullee comes along
|
| My eyes are crossed, my back’s in a cramp
|
| Tryin' to read the Bible by my coal-oil lamp
|
| Tryin' to read the Bible by my coal-oil lamp
|
| Tryin' to read the Bible by my coal-oil lamp
|
| I guess I come to the end of the line
|
| I guess I come to the end of the line
|
| I guess I come to the end of the line
|
| I guess I come to the end of the line
|
| Ain’t no country extra fine
|
| If you are a mile from the end of the line
|
| Ain’t no country extra fine
|
| If you ain’t on to the power line
|
| Well, I guess I come to the end of the line
|
| I guess I come to the end of the line |
