when they opened up the strip
I was young and full of zeal
I wanted some place to call my home
And I staked me out of place
Blow it away, blow it away
Yeah, my old home is blown away
Well, it looked so green and fair
When I built my shanty there
Now my old home is blown away
Well, I planted wheats and oats
Got some chickens and some goats
Had some eggs feedin' my face
Well, I got a mule to plow
I got an old red mule to catch
And I got a fancy mortgage on the place
Well, blow it away, blow it away
All the crops I planted blown away
Well, you can't grow any grain
If you ain't got it, it ain't everything
Except my mortgage blown away
It looked so green and fair
When I built my shanty there
Figured, that I was set for life
With my fancy scallop bass
She was picked up by a tussle
Well, I'm roaming Oklahoma
But I'm always close to home
I never get homesick until I die
No matter where I'm found
Yeah, my Oklahoma home is in the sky
Yeah, my Oklahoma home is blown away
But my home is always near
home of the long -awaited
home of the long -awaited
home of the long -awaited
