Lyrics

That old dust storm killed my baby
But it can't kill me, lord
And it can't kill me

That old dust storm killed my family
But it can't kill me, lord
And it can't kill me

That old landlord got my homestead
But he can't get me, lord
And he can't get me

That old dry spell killed my crop, boys
But it can't kill me, lord
And it can't kill me

That old tractor got my home, boys
But it can't get me, lord
And it can't get me

That old tractor run my house down
But it can't get me down
And it can't get me

That old pawn shop got my furniture
But it can't get me, lord
And it can't get me

That old highway's got my relatives
But it can't get me, lord
And it can't get me

That old dust might kill my wheat, boys
But it can't kill me, lord
And it can't kill me

I have weathered a-many a dust storm
But it can't get me, boys
And it can't kill me

That old dust storm, well, it blowed my barn down
But it can't blow me down
And it can't blow me down

That old wind might blow this world down
But it can't blow me down
It can't kill me

That old dust storm's killed my baby
But it can't kill me, lord
And it can't kill me
