Do Re Mi lyrics

Artist  : Woody Guthrie 
Song : Do Re Mi



 Send "Do Re Mi" Ringtone to your Cell 

 Lots of folks back East, they say, is leavin' home
every day,

Beatin' the hot old dusty way to the California
line.

'Cross the desert sands they roll, gettin' out of
that old dust bowl,

They think they're goin' to a sugar bowl, but
here's what they find 

Now, the police at the port of entry say,

"You're number fourteen thousand for
today." 



Oh, if you ain't got the do re mi, folks, 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. 



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.
