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
