Tulare Dust lyrics
Song information
Artist: Merle Haggard Album: Someday We'll Look Back
Lyrics
Tulare dust in a farm boy's nose Wondering where the freight train goes Standin' in the field by the railroad track Cursin' the strap on my cotton sack
I can see mom and dad with shoulders low Both of 'em pickin' on a double row They do it for a livin' because they must That's life like it is in the tulare dust
The california sun was something new That winter we arrived in '42 And I can still remember how my daddy cussed The tumbleweeds here in the tulare dust
The valley fever was a common fate To the farmworkers here in the golden state And I miss oklahoma but I'll stay If I must and help make a livin' in the tulare dust
The tulare dust in a farm boy's nose Wondering where the freight train goes Standin' in the field by the railroad track Cursin' the strap on my cotton sack
