tell me lord
what to do
ain't no rain
coming through
wind came up
land is dry
I watch my farm
blowing by

black sky blues
black sky blues
black sky blues

I'd had planned to
rest my soul
sleep in peace
on this land
see my kids
work this farm
sow their seeds
make their plans

black sky blues
black sky blues
black sky blues

blizzards black
block the sun
all my stock
dead and gone
bank-man came
rapped my door
took my house
sold my store

black sky blues
black sky blues
black sky blues

black sky blues
