DUST CAN'T KILL ME
(Woody Guthrie)

Woody Guthrie

Also recorded by :
Dave "Baby" Cortez


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 it can’t git 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 cant git me

That old tractor run my house down
But it can’t git me down, and it can’t git me

That old pawnshop got my furniture
But it can’t git me, Lord, and it can’t git me

That old highway got my relatives
But it can’t get me, Lord, and it can’t git 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 many a dust storm
But it can’t kill 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, 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
