Dusty Old Dust (So Long It's Been God to Know Yuh)

Lyrics for Dusty Old Dust (So Long It's Been God to Know Yuh)

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 And 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 A dust storm hit, and it hit like thunder It dusted us over, and it covered us under Blocked out the traffic and 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 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 Sweethearts sat in the dark and sparked They hugged and kissed in that dusty old dark They sighed and cried, hugged and kissed Instead of marriage, they talk 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' our 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 He said, "kind friend, this may the end And you've got your last chance at salvation of sin" The churches was jammed and the churches was packed And that dusty old dust storm blowed so black Preacher could not read a word of his text And he folded his specs, ad' he took up 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
