# # #Performer: Nanci Griffith #Words and Music: Woody Guthrie #Do Re Mi # G Well thousands of folks back east, they say, C Are leavinâ home most every day, D7 G Beatinâ the hot old dusty way to the California line. ÎCross the desert sands they roll, C Getting out of that old dust bowl. D7 They think theyâre going to a sugar bowl, G But here is what they find. D7 Now the police at the port of entry say, ãHey youâre number fourteen thousand for today.ä Chorus: G Oh if you ainât got that do re mi boy, D7 Well if you ainât got the do re mi, Why you better go back to beautiful Texas, G Oklahoma, Georgia, Kansas, Tennessee. California is a Garden of Eden, C Itâs a paradise to live in or see. G D7 G C G But believe it or not, you wonât find it so hot, C D7 G If you ainât got the do re mi. If you want to buy you a home or farm, That canât do nobody harm, Or take your vacation by the mountains or the sea. Donât swap your old cow for a car, Youâd better stay right where you are, Youâd better take this little tip from me. ÎCause I look through the want ads every day, And the headlines in the papers always say . . . Chorus G D7 G C G Yeah believe it or not, you wonât find it so hot, C D7 G If you ainât got the do re mi.
