So Long It's Been Good to Know Yuh (Dusty Old Dust)

Woody Guthrie, the great Oklahoma balladeer, wrote this song about the terrible Oklahoma dust storms that literally blew the land away and forced many of the "Okies" to migrate west to California. Like the old folk saying, "I'm laughing to keep from crying," Woody gives this tragic story a comic twist. Available: SATB. Performance Time: Approx. 3:00.
