[C] I've sung this song but [G] I'll sing it again [C] of the place that I lived [G] on the wild windy [C] plains in the month called [F] April,
county called Gray [G] and here's what all of the people there [C] say.
So long, it's been good to know you.
[G] So long, it's been [C] good to know you.
So long, [F] it's been good to know you.
[C] This dusty old dust [G] is getting my home and I've got to be [C] drifting along.
A dust storm hit [G] and it hit like thunder.
[C] It dusted us over [G] and it covered us under.
[C] Blocked out the [F] traffic and blocked out the sun.
[C] Straight for home all [G] the people did run.
[C]
So long, it's been good to know you.
So long, it's been good to know you.
So long, [F] it's been good to know you.
[C] This dusty old dust [G] is getting my home and I've got to be [C] drifting along.
We talked of the end [G] of the world and then [C] we'd sing a [G] song and then sing it again.
[C] We'd sit for an [F] hour and not say a [G] word and then these [C] words would be heard.
So long, it's been good to know [G] you.
So long, it's been good to know [C] you.
So long, it's been good [F] to know [C] you.
This dusty old [G] dust is getting my home and I've got to be [C] drifting along.
Sweethearts sat [G] in the dark and [C] sparked.
They hugged and kissed [G] in that dusty old dark.
[C] They sighed and [F] cried, hugged and [G] kissed.
Instead of marriage they talk [C] like this.
Honey, so long, it's been good to know [G] you.
So long, it's been good [C] to know you.
So [F] long, it's been good to know [C] you.
This dusty old dust [G] is getting our home and I've got to be [C] drifting along.
Now the telephone [G] rang and it jumped off the wall.
That was the preacher making [C] his call.
He said, kind [F] friend, this may be the [C] end and you've got your last [G] chance at salvation [C] of sin.
The churches was [G] jammed and the churches was [C] packed and that dusty old [G] dust storm blowed so [C] black.
Preacher could not read [F] a word of his [C] text and he folded his fax and he took up collection.
Said, so long, been good to know [G] you.
So [C] long, it's been good to know you.
So [F] long, it's been good to know you.
[C] This dusty old dust [G] is getting my home and I've got to be drifting [C] along.
