Shoulder to shoulder The times of depression and struggling for livelihood brought caring families closer together. Togetherness and standing shoulder to shoulder made us able to stand when it would have been easy to give up. We stuck together, went to church together, and when one of us needed a boost we all together rallied and helped. The road was rough, but we were tough, after while we had enough. We've overcome the obstacles, put them behind us.
Life is great.
To God be the glory-and credit. We watched the Devil Wind come, blowin' harder day by day, Picking up the top soil, and blowin' it away. Dryin' up the corn and cotton, and destroyin our well. The Great Dust Storm From Hell. So Daddy said we'd have to leave, and my Mama, meek and mild, Tried not to show how much she grieved, and I became, a migrant child.
