We have seen the clouds come rolling up It looked like we'ed have rain We have seen them gently scatter out and away again While the wind kept right on blowing o'er our Parched and naked plain As we kept hanging on CHORUS: Kansas, Kansas, we are staying Kansas, Kansas, we are staying Kansas, Kansas, we are staying Cause we can't get away We have seen the wheat come up so green And our hopes were very bright Then it shriveled in the hot wind as of Stricken with a blight. And our hopes that were so rosy all Became as black as night But we kept hanging on. We have seen the big black dust clouds that Come rolling o'er the plain. And it filled our lungs and houses Till we nearly went insane But we took the broom and mop in hand And dug it out again. And still kept hanging on. We have dug and swept the dust out till Our arms and backs were lame We have breathed it in and sneezed it Out till our noses were aflame If we ever get away from here we will Not come back again We won't keep hanging on. Final CHORUS Kansas, Kansas, we are leaving Kansas, Kansas, we are leaving Kansas, Kansas, we are leaving If we can get a chance. |
