Do Re Mi Lyrics

Do Re Mi - Ramblin' Jack Elliott

Written by:Woody Guthrie

Lots of folks back east they say

Leaving home every day

Beating the hot old dusty way

To the California line

Across the desert sands they roll

Getting out of that Old Dust Bowl

Think they're coming to a sugar bowl

But here's what they find

Well the Police at the port of entry say

You're number fourteen thousand for to day

Hey if you ain't got the do re mi boy

If you ain't got the do re mi

You better go back to beautiful Texas

Oklahoma Kansas Georgia Tennessee

California is the garden of Eden

It's 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

You wanna buy a house or farm

Can't do nobody harm

Spend your vacation by the mountains or sea

Don't swap your old cow for a car

You better stay right where you are

You better take this little tip from me

'Cause I look through the want ads every day

But the only thing the papers ever say

Hey if you ain't got the do re mi boy

If you ain't got the do re mi

You better go back to beautiful Texas

Oklahoma Kansas Georgia Tennessee

California is the garden of Eden

It's 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 boy

 

If you ain't got the do re mi
