Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][F][C][G][C][G]
[C]

[Verse 1]
I've [C]sung this song,
but I'll [G]sing it again
Of the [C]place that I lived on the [G]wild,
windy plains
In the [C]month called April,
[F]county called Gray
And [G]here's what all of
the people [C]there say

[Verse 2]
So long, it's been good to know ya
[G]So long, it's been good to know [C]ya
So long, it's [F]been good to know ya
This [C]dusty old dust is a-
[G]gettin' my home
And I've got to be driftin' [C]along

[Verse 3]
A [C]dust storm hit, and it [G]hit like thunder
It [C]dusted us over,
and it [G]covered us under
[C]Blocked out the traffic and
[F]blocked out the sun
[C]Straight for home,
all the [G]people did run

[Verse 4]
Singin'
[C]So long, it's been good to know ya
[F]So long, it's [C]been good to know ya
So long, it's [F]been good to know ya
This [C]dusty old dust is a-
[G]gettin' my home
I've got to be driftin' [C]along

[Verse 5]
We [C]talked of the end of the [G]world,
and then
We'd [C]sing a song and
then [G]sing it again
We'd [C]sit for an hour and [F]not say a word
And [G]then these words would be [C]heard

[Verse 6]
[C]So long, it's been good to know ya
[G]So long, it's been good to know ya
[C]So long, it's been good [F]to know ya
This [C]dusty old dust is a-
[G]gettin' my home
And I've got to be driftin' along
[C]

[Verse 7]
Sweethearts sat in [G]the dark and sparked
They [C]hugged and kissed in
that [G]dusty old dark
They [C]sighed and cried, [F]hugged and kissed
In[G]stead of marriage, they talk like this
[C]Honey

[Verse 8]
So long, it's been good to know ya
[G]So long, it's been good to know [C]ya
So long, it's [F]been good to know ya
This [C]dusty old dust is a- [G]get
tin' our home
And I've got to be driftin' [C]along

[Verse 9]
Now, the [C]telephone rang,
and it [G]jumped off the wall
That was the preacher, a- makin' his call
[C]He said, "kind friend,
this [F]may the end
And you've [C]got your last chance at
salva[G]tion [C]of sin"

[Verse 10]
[C]The churches was jammed and the
[G]churches was packed
And that [C]dusty old dust storm
[G]blowed so black
[C]Preacher could not read [F]a word of his text
And he [C]folded his specs,
ad' he took up collection

[Verse 11]
Said
[C]So long, it's been good to know ya
[G]So long, it's [C]been good to know ya
So long, it's [F]been good to know ya
This [C]dusty old dust is a-
[G]gettin' my home
And I've got to be driftin' [C]along
