Alison Krauss - Dustbowl Children Lyrics
My father’s name was Hannibal, Mama was Hanna-Mariah.
Everything we owned got all burned up in the great depression fire
Strip mines and one crop farming drained the green earth dry.
We lost it all till only love was left, and that was the one thing money can’t buy.
Singin’ the dust bowl song
Well, the crops won’t grow,
And the dust just blows
When the green fields are gone.
When the green grass growing fields are gone.
When the green fields are gone.
When the green grass growing fields are gone.
Well, they said in California, there’s work of every kind.
The only work that I got out there was waiting on a welfare line.
Now all the work is being done by a big ole machine.
We’re all Dust Bowl Children
Singin’ the dust bowl song
And the crops won’t grow,
And the dust just blows
When the green fields are gone.
When the green grass growing fields are gone.
When the green fields are gone.
When the green grass growing fields are gone.

Alison Krauss Dustbowl Children Comments
Can't believe I have to listen to this as an assignment for class, about The Great Depression. --__--
Reading grapes of wrath while listening to this.
America's history song. Immigration mugs...
I am a man of constant sorrow
Reminds me a little bit of the Soggy Bottom Boys
They did all the actual music used in that movie.
Hmmm. I wonder why?
This version is good but I like Peter Rowan's interpretation better.
Hello there, a song composed by us, french rock'n bluegrass band ;)

learn about the dust bowl
this is just epic
Goosebumps! :D
freal mayn
I normally don't like country but these guys struck a cord in me...dustbowl children-still and evermore relevant today
Stephanie Buchwieser it's blugrass. That's the name of the sub genre. I'm a metal head and can't stand most country but, bluegrass is badass.
@FlyBoy It's awesome how many bluegrass fans are also metalheads because my musical taste evolved the same way. Used to listen to exclusively folk/melodic metal but occasionally while at my "country" friend's house a song would come on that I would enjoy because of all the complex banjo riffs and fiddle. So I created a bluegrass pandora station just for driving through the countryside and began developing my bluegrass taste.
You are responding to the extreme musicianship. They hooked me too.
@FlyBoy What the fuck. I'm a metalhead too. What a crazy coincidence, lol. Why does bluegrass sound so good to us ?
Cerberus' Leash literally me too 😂
Valeu pela postagem amigo.
LOVE!!!¡¡¡¡
this is amazing
Respect from Hong Kong!
Lush and Simon remix!
I prefer this to the original. yes I know the purists won't agree, but this Welsh boy don't care.
Hey look a goat!
what is the original?
I think it's this one from the Peter Rowan Band :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dan38wvIQxM
i need to bring this home to harlem nyc! this is good music!!
This guy from far right, same as that guy from Myth Busters :D
Finaly found it.
couldn't get any better....
anyone know of other songs like this?
tcarp77 There's a version by Peter Rowan.This is his song.
https://youtu.be/KGajbADUdEw
The singer on this is Dan Tyminski he’s some bluegrass singer, he’s got some good solo tracks and he actually provided the vocals for the song “Hey Brother” by Avicii, if you like this you should check him out. My personal favorite of his is “Some Early Morning”
Is it is good as this? Link to it please.
Listen to the original version by Peter Rowan.
https://youtu.be/KGajbADUdEw
This song is badass
If you get the chance see them live. It will knock you out.
Love.love LOVE this song!!!
Just you
I caught this song while flying from Hong Kong to Istanbul on board of Turkish Airlines and... couldn't stop listening to it ever since!
Really good stuff.
Is it just me or does his voice sound slightly autotuned?
MaskMostMysterious not autotuned
I thought the same but this group is pretty purist. He's just that damn good.
Feel like I should be watching Deputy US Marshal Raylan Givens chase down Boyd Crowder while listening to this music.
i love this song my teacher playes it all the time. ONCE I HAD A DOLLAR, ONCE I HAD A DREAM YAYYYYYY
@jessemcbride10 you are, clearly, projecting
well I'm relieved that you figured that much out.
lulz, even Union Station prefers the original
@jessemcbride10 no, and I didn't realize you speak for every youtube viewer of this page ... lulz
I love his voice!
@HTaylorUK as Ron says pick tha banjer solid. Thats why it's so good
y'all realize this a Peter Rowan song right?
@Kannon151 Yeah, but this is "Newgrass", not country. That's why its so bitchin'. :o) These guys will go down as the best of all-time.
I had the pleasure of seeing this talented group last night in Charleston, SC. I'm not even a big fan of country, but they were just flat out amazing.
Dams that's a good song
WHY IS THIS SONG SO GOOD
Just can't believe what I'm hearing!!!
I was just driving around my home town with the sun setting. It felt like a great moment. The song has no connection to my life. But that felt like a great drive. I've fallen in love with this song!
I love this song, it makes me think of my connection to the Great Depression. My PeePaw would tell me stores of his childhood in the Great Depression when I was about 10 years.
No mistaking the sound of ALISON KRAUSS & UNION STATION . pure class !!!
This is a class act.
