I've sung this song, but I'll sing it again
Of the place that I lived on the wild windy plains
In the month called April, county called Gray
Here's what all the people there say
So long, it's been good to know yuh
So long, it's been good to know yuh
So long, it's been good to know yuh
This dusty old dust is a-gettin' my home
And I gotta be drifting along
ย
Well, a dust storm hit, and it hit like thunder
It dusted us over, it covered us under
It blocked out the traffic and blocked out the sun
Straight for home all the people did run, singing
So long, it's been good to know yuh
So long, it's been good to know yuh
So long, it's been good to know yuh
This dusty old dust is a-gettin' my home
And I gotta be drifting along
ย
We talked of the end of the world, and then
We'd sing a song and then sing it again
We'd sit for an hour and not say a word
And then these words would be heard
So long, it's been good to know yuh
So long, it's been good to know yuh
So long, it's been good to know yuh
This dusty old dust is a-gettin' my home
And I got to be drifting along
Well, the sweethearts sat in the dark and they sparked
They hugged and they kissed in the dusty old dark
They sighed and they cried, they hugged and they kissed
But instead of marriage, they talked just like this, singing
So long, it's been good to know yuh
So long, it's been good to know yuh
So long, it's been good to know yuh
This dusty old dust is a-gettin' my home
And I got to be drifting along
ย
Now, the telephone rang, it jumped off the wall
That was the preacher, he's making his call
He said, "Kind friend, this might be the end
You got your last chance for salvation of sin"
The churches was jammed, and the churches was packed
And that dusty old storm blowed so black
Preacher could not read a word of his text
And he folded his specs, and he took up collection
So long, it's been good to know yuh
So long, it's been good to know yuh
So long, it's been good to know yuh
This dusty old dust is a-gettin' my home
And I gotta be drifting along
So long, it's been good to know yuh
So long, it's been good to know yuh
So long, it's been good to know yuh
This dusty old dust is a-gettin' my home
And I got to be drifting along
