The Dust Blows Forward 'N' The Dust Blows Back lyrics

[Verse 1]

There's ole Gray with her dove-winged hat

There's ole Green with her sewing machine

Where's the bobbin at?

Tote an old grain in a printed sack

The dust blows forward n' the dust blows back

[Verse 2]

And the wind blows black through the sky

And the smokestack blows up in the sun's eye

What am I, gonna die?

A white flake riverboat just blew by

Bubbles popped big

And a lick - and a lipstick Kleenex

Hung on a pointed forked twig

Reminds me of the bobby girls

Never was my hobby girls

Hand full o'worms and a pole fishin'

Cork bobbin' like a hot red bulb

And a bluejay squeaks

His beak open an inch above a creek

Gone fishin' for a week

Well, I put down my bush

And I took off my pants and felt free

The breeze blowin' up me and up the canyon

Far as I could see

[Verse 3]

It's night now

And the moon looks like a dandelion

It's black now

And the blackbird's feedin' on rice

And his red wings

Look like diamonds and lice

[Verse 4]

I could hear the mice toes scamperin'

Gophers rumblin'

In pile crater rock holes

One red bean stuck in the bottom of a tin bowl

Hot coffee from a crimped-up can

Me and my girl named Bimbo Limbo Spam
