Do Re Mi - Guy Clark
C F
Lots of folks back East, they say, is leavin' home every day,
G C
Beatin' the hot old dusty way to the California line.
F
'Cross the desert sands they roll, gettin' out of that old dust bowl,
G C
They think they're goin' to a sugar bowl, but here's what they find --
G
Now, the police at the port of entry say,
"You're number fourteen thousand for today."
Chorus:
C G
Oh, if you ain't got the do re mi, folks, you ain't got the do re mi,
C
Why, you better go back to beautiful Texas, Oklahoma, Georgia, Kansas, Tennessee.
F
California is a garden of Eden, a paradise to live in or see;
C
But believe it or not, you won't find it so hot
G C
If you ain't got the do re mi.
You want to buy you a home or a farm, that can't deal nobody harm,
Or take your vacation by the mountains or sea.
Don't swap your old cow for a car, you better stay right where you are,
Better take this little tip from me.
'Cause I look through the want ads every day
But the headlines on the papers always say:
If you ain't got the do re mi, boys, you ain't got the do re mi,
Why, you better go back to beautiful Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Georgia, Tennessee.
California is a garden of Eden, a paradise to live in or see;
But believe it or not, you won't find it so hot
If you ain't got the do re mi.
