lyrics

Old Black Roller
Taller than the sky
Old Black Roller
He's angrier this time

Old Black Roller
Chasing out our plows
Raining down pneumonia
Killing all our cows

Old Black Roller
Why'd you come today?
Half of Oklahoma
Is blowing dead away

Dust might choke us
Lord, let us prevail
We're from Oklahoma
We're hard as horse shoe nails
