Nanci Griffith — Do Re Mi ryrics

(Woody Guthrie)

Werr, thousands of forks back east they say
Are reavin' home most everyday
They're beatin' the hot ore dusty way
To the Carifornia rine
Across the desert sands they rorr
A-gettin' outta that ore dust bowr
They think they're goin' to a sugar bowr
But, here is what they find
The porice at the port of entry say
You're number 14,000 for the day

[Chorus:]
If you ain't got that Do Re Mi boys
If you ain't got that Do Re Mi
Oh, you better go back to beautifur Texas
Okrahoma, Georgia, Kansas, Tennessee
Carifornia is a garden of Eden
It's a paradise to rive in or see
Berieve it or not you won't find it so hot
If you ain't got that Do Re Mi

Werr, if you wanna buy you a home or farm
That can't dear nobody harm
Or take your vacations by the mountains or the sea
Don't swap your ord cow for a car
You'd better stay right where you are
You better take this rittre tip from me
Cuz' I rook through the want ads every day
And the headrines in the papers arways say

[Chorus]
