Dusty Winds

Ninety days since the country's seen a drop of rain

Fourty four since the grass begin to burn

Thirsty cattle are millin' round the old creek bed

Disty winds where the waters used to churn

Dusty winds hear them blow dusty winds moanin' low

Night and day on they go those dusty winds

Now a cloud in the sky but still the sun shines dim

But enough to turn the scenery dark and brown

Lookin' westward is a dust cloud loomin' high in the sky

Shows the trail of fifty settlers leavin' town

Dusty winds hear them blow...

When it's late in the evenin' in my cabin all alone

It's so lonesome when that wind comes howlin' through

And I think of all the settlers headin' west out of town

Kind of wish I had left here with them too

Dusty winds hear them blow...
