Four months ago in April, on a day-coach she came down

And the dusty autumn winds begin to blow

I should’a known I couldn’t hold her livin’ out so far from town

And the nights to come are long and slow to go

Well now she’s up and left me and went walkin’ down the line

And the dusty autumn winds begin to blow

All dressed up in red velvet & her high-heeled shoes so fine

And the nights to come are long and slow to go

Well if I’d only known, before we kissed, that

You can’t keep red velvet on a poor dirt farm like this

So now she’s gone and left me & went walkin’ down the line

And the dusty autumn winds begin to blow

Well I’ll sit & count the evening stars, as they walk around

When the dusty autumn winds begin to blow

Then I’ll call my dog & take the truck & drive on into town

‘Cause the nights to come are long & slow to go

Well I’ll sit & count the evening stars, as they walk around

And the dusty autumn winds begin to blow

Then I’ll call my dog & take the truck & drive on into town

‘Cause the nights to come are long & slow to go

And those dusty autumn winds, be - gin to blow
