Do Re Mi
(By Woody Guthrie) Well, thousands of folks back east they say Are leavin' home most everyday They're beatin' the hot ole dusty way To the California line Across the desert sands they roll A-gettin' outta that ole dust bowl They think they're goin' to a sugar bowl But, here is what they find The police 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 beautiful Texas Oklahoma, Georgia, Kansas, Tennessee California is a garden of Eden It's a paradise to live in or see Believe it or not you won't find it so hot If you ain't got that Do Re Mi Well, if you wanna buy you a home or farm That can't deal nobody harm Or take your vacations by the mountains or the sea Letras de cancionesDon't swap your old cow for a car You'd better stay right where you are You better take this little tip from me Cuz' I look through the want ads every day And the headlines in the papers always say [Chorus] From Letras Mania
