Vigilante Man |
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 |
CHORUS: 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!» |
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 specs, 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 is a-gettin' my home |
And I got to be driftin' along |
