Based on Woody Guthrie's So Long, Its Been Good To Know Yuh
(Dusty Old Dust)
I've sung this before , but I'll sing it again,
About the place that I lived on the wild windy plains,
In a state of confusion, in county of LA,
And here's what all of my friends they did say:
Honey
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 takin' my home,
And I got to be driftin' along.
Well the lovers they 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
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 has takin' my home,
But I got to be driftin' along.
Well, the telephone rang, an' it jumped off the wall,
That was the preacher, just makin' his call.
He said, "Kind friend, this may the end;
It may be your last chance at salvation from sin!"
The churches was jammed, and the churches was packed,
An' that dusty old dust storm blowed so black.
Preacher could not read a word of his text,
An' he folded his Bible, an' he took up collection,
Said:
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 has takin' my home,
But I got to be driftin' along.
Well some friends that I know had a mighty great band
They played and they played across this great land
But the radio would not play their heartfelt songs
So they packed up their bags and they moved to Wyoming
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 has takin' my home,
But I got to be driftin' along.
