Dust, dust, dust in the skies Dust on the trail, dust in my eyes Dust, dust, can’t see the sun Can’t find my way, the dust has won
The cattle and the sheep, bedded down to sleep Seem to realize their fate The vultures in the sky know the time is nigh Will they fly away or wait
Oh Lord, please ease my pain Oh Lord, where is your rain and sunshine Dust, dust, must it be, can this be eternity
Here was a home, where the buffalo roamed Where the deer, and the antelope played Here was a place where the cattle would graze Where corn and alfalfa once waved
Where are the ranchers, the cowpunching crowd What has become of the rain Out of the blue came a threatening cloud Causing this awful change
Oh Lord, please ease my pain Oh Lord, where is your rain and sunshine Dust, dust, must it be, can this be eternity Oh Lord, have mercy on poor me
