Do Re Mi Lyrics - Live In San Francisco - Ry Cooder & Corridos Famosos

Lots of folks back east they say 

Leaving home most every day 

Beating the hot old dusty way 

To the (g) california line 

'cross the desert sands they roll 

Getting out of that old dust bowl 

Think they're coming to a sugar bowl 

But (g) here's (d7) what they (g) find 

Police at the port of entry say 

You're number fourteen thousand for to (d7) day 

Hey, if you (g) ain't got the do re mi, boy 

If you ain't got the do re (d) mi 

Well, you (d7) better go back to beautiful texas 

Oklahoma, kansas, georgia, tennes- (g) see 

California is the garden of eden 

It's a paradise to (g7) live in or (c) see 

But be(g)lieve it or (d) not 

You won't (bm) find it so (c) hot 

If you (em) ain't got the do re (g) mi 

You want to buy a home or a farm 

That can't do nobody harm 

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 

Well, I look through the want ads every day 

The headlines in the papers always say
