Lyrics
Cimarron County
©, Willie McCulloch, 2004
Not long ago...in Cimarron county
Oklahoma, wild and free...ooh lonesome pioneers
Men and women...seeking their fortune
Gave their back and soul to the land...ooh heartbreaking years
And the dust will fly
And the rivers won?t run
Under the sky and scorching sun
As farmers pray their crops will survive
In the year of our Lord...1935
In the year of our Lord...1935
Boards on the windows...dust on the table
Darkness comes like the end of the world...ooh sent by the devils hand
Just getting by...in Cimarron county
Nothing left but the wide open plain...ooh heavens forgotten land
And the dust will fly
And the rivers won?t run
Under the sky and scorching sun
As farmers pray their crops will survive
In the year of our Lord...1935
In the year of our Lord...1935
