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

Forty-four since the grass began to burn

Thristy cattle are millin' round the old creek bed

Dusty 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



Not 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

Dusty winds, moanin' low

Night and day on they go

Those dusty winds



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

Kinda wished I'd have left here with them too



Dusty winds, hear them blow

Dusty winds, moanin' low

Night and day on they go

Those dusty winds
