My father's name was Hannibal, mama was Hannah-Mariah Every thing we old got all burned up in the Great Depression fire Straight lines of one-crop farming drained the Green Earth dry We lost it all, only love was left, and that's one thing money can't buy. Chorus: We're all Dustbowl Children Singin' a Dustbowl song And the crops won't grow And the dust just blows (When them green fields are gone, When them green grass-growin' fields are gone)x2 They said in California there was work every kind But the only job I ever got out there was waitin' in a welfare line Once I had a daughter, Once I had a dream Now all the work is being done by big old machines Chorus Solos Chorus

Old Train 02:37
Old train I can hear your whistle blow But I won't be jumping on again Old train I've been everywhere you go And I know what lies beyond each bend. Old train each time you pass you're older than the last And it seems I'm too old for running I hear your rusty wheels grate against the rails They cry with every mile and I think I'll stay awhile. Old train I grow weary from the miles And I'll miss the freedom that was mine Old train just to think about those times I'll smile when you're high-balling by.

CHO. Oh Raleigh and Spencer done gone dry There ain't no more whiskey in town There ain't no more whiskey in town I can eat more fat meat than you can cook in a week And I'll tell more doggone lies Yes, I'll tell them doggone lies CHO I can eat more chicken than a pretty girl can fry And I'll tell them doggone lies I'll tell them doggone lies CHO You can stomp down the flowers that bloom on my grave They'll rise and bloom once again They'll rise and bloom once again CHO x2

Try It Baby 03:10
Now you're moving on up, pretty baby You're leaving me behind Everybody seems to love you Oh, you're doing just fine, fine, fine But take away your good looks And all your fancy clothes Why don't you just Try it baby Try it baby Try it baby Try it baby You'll see that nobody loves you but me Nobody loves you but me Now you tell me that you so busy, pretty baby You ain't got much time Oh, how will I remember all your time was mine, mine, mine Well move on back cross the track, baby Where you came from I really wanna hold you, pretty baby In my arms again But I can't get close to you For all your loving friend, friend, friend But take your name from the bright lights baby And tell me that you are all through Why don't you just Try it baby Try it baby Try it baby Try it baby You'll see that nobody loves you but me Nobody loves you but me

Out on the lonely hillside In a cabin low and small Lived the sweetest rose of color My Rosa Lee Mcfall Her eyes were brightsome color Her voice was sweet to me I Know that I will always love her And I hoped that she loved me A asked her to be my darling And this is what she said You know that I will only be happy When you and I are wed Then God way up in heaven One day for her did call I lost my bride, oh how I loved her My Rosa Lee Mcfall I searched this wide world over Cities great and small But Ive never found another Like my Rosa Lee Mcfall Out on the lonely hillside In a cabin low and small Lived the sweetest rose of color My Rosa Lee Mcfall

I am a poor wayfaring stranger Traveling through this world of woe Yet there's no sickness, no toil, or danger In that wide world to which I go I'm goin' there to see my Father I'm goin' there no more to roam I'm only goin' over Jordan I'm only goin' o'er my home. I know dark clouds hang around me I know my way is rough and steep But beautious fields lie just before me Where God's redeemed his vigil's keep I'm goin' there to see my Mother She said she'd meet me when I come I'm only goin' over Jordan I'm only goin' o'er my home (Repeat first 8)

The Tenderbellies Burlington, Vermont

A rambling band of rabble-rousers from the rolling hills of the Champlain Valley. Representing a broad diversity in musical background, taste, and stage manners, The Tenderbellies have a little something for everyone. We pride ourselves on our ability to play to any crowd, regardless of the occasion. Their first EP is an experiment in studio space that went so smoothly, we decided to master it! ... more
