Dusty Old Dust (so Long It's Been Good To Know Yuh) Lyrics - Dust Bowl Ballads - Woody Guthrie

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 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 driftin' along. 

A dust storm hit, an' it hit like thunder; 

It dusted us over, an' it covered us under; 

Blocked out the traffic an' blocked out the sun, 

Straight for home all the people did run, 

Singin',

We talked of the end of the world, and then 

We'd sing a song an' then sing it again. 

We'd sit for an hour an' not say a word, 

And then these words would be heard: 

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 talked like this: 

"Honey," 

Now, the telephone rang, an' it jumped off the wall, 

That was the preacher, a-makin' his call. 

He said, "Kind friend, this may the end; 

An' you got your last chance of salvation of sin!"
