Well I've sung this song but I'll sing it again
Of the places I've lived on the wild windy plains
In the month of April, county called Gray
Here's what all of the people there say
So long, it's been good to know ya
So long, it's been good to know ya
So long, it's been good to know ya
This dusty old dust is a-gettin' my home
And I've got to be driftin' along
Well a dust storm hit, and it hit like thunder
It dusted us over and dusted us under
It blocked out the traffic, blocked out the sun
And straight for shelter the people did run, singin'
So long, it's been good to know ya
So long, it's been good to know ya
So long, it's been good to know ya
This dusty old dust is a-gettin' my home
And I've got to be driftin' along
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 ya
So long, it's been good to know ya
So long, it's been good to know ya
This dusty old dust is a-gettin' my home
And I've got to be driftin' along
The sweethearts they sat in the dark and they sparked
They hugged and they kissed in that dusty old dark
They sighed and they cried, they hugged and they kissed
But instead of marriage they were talkin' like this, honey
So long, it's been good to know ya
So long, it's been good to know ya
So long, it's been good to know ya
This dusty old dust is a-gettin' my home
And I've got to be driftin' along
Now the telephone rang and it jumped off the wall
That was the preacher a-makin' his call
And he said, "Kind friends, this might be the end
You've got your last chance of salvation of sin"
Well the churches was jammed and the churches was packed
And that dusty old dust storm it blowed so black
That the preacher could not read a word of his text
So he folded his specs and he took a collection, said
So long, it's been good to know ya
So long, it's been good to know ya
So long, it's been good to know ya
This dusty old dust is a-gettin' my home
And I've got to be driftin' along
