I've sung this song,
but I'll sing it again
Of the place that I live,
on the wild windy plains
In the month of April,
a county called Gray
Here's what all 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 gotta be driftin'
along
Well, the dust storm hit
and it hit like thunder
Cuspered us over, it dusted us under
It blocked out the traffic,
it blocked out the sun
Straight for home,
all 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 gotta be driftin'
along
We talked of the end of the
world and then
We'd sing the song and
then sing it again
We'd sit for an hour and not say a word
And then these woods would be her
And it's so long,
it's been good to know you
So long, it's been good to know you
So long, it's been good to know you
This dusty old dust is a -gettin' my hold
And I gotta be driftin' along
Well the sweethearts they 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, 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 die
in this dusty old dust
Is it gettin' my home?
And I've gotta be driftin' along
Now the telephone rang,
jumped off the wall
That was the preacher,
he's a -makin' his call
He said, kind friend,
this might be the end
You've got your last chance
for salvation of sin
The churches was jammed
and the churches was packed
And the 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 you
So long, it's been good to know you
So long, it's been good to know you
This dusty old dove is a -gettin' my hold
And I gotta be drifting along
It's been long,
it's been good to know you
So long, it's been good to know you
So long, it's been good to know you
This dusty old dust is getting my home
And I gotta be drifting along
Thank you. Thank you. you.
