So Long It's Been Good To Know Yuh

Country Joe McDonald

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 of April, the county called Gray

Here's what all of the people there say,



Well it's 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-getting my home

And I got to be drifting along.



The dust storm hit and it hit like thunder,

It dusted us over and it dusted us under.

It blocked out the traffic, it blocked out the sun

And straight for home all the people did run



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 is a-getting my home

And I got to be drifting along.



The sweethearts sat in the dark and they sparked,

They hugged and they kissed in that dusty old dark.

They sighed and they cried and they hugged and they kissed

But 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 is a-getting my home

And I got to be drifting along.
