Verse
[E] [A] [B]
Lots ... leaving... Beatin'... etc...
[E]Lots of folks back east they say,
Is le[A]aving home, every day,
[B]Beatin? the hot old dusty way
To the California li[E]ne
[E]Cross the desert sands they roll,
[A]Gettin? out of that ol? dust bowl.
They thi[B]nk they?re goin? to a sugar bowl, but here?s what they f[E]ind:
Chorus:
Now t[B]he police at the port of entry say,
You?re number fourteen thousand for today.
Oh, if you a[E]in?t got the do-re-mi, folks,
If you ain?t got the do-[B]re-mi,
Well, you better go back to beautiful Texas,
Oklahoma, Kansas, Georgia, Te[E]nnessee.
California is a Garden of Eden, a paradise to live in or [A]see.
But be[E]lieve it or not, you won?t find it so hot

If you want to buy a home or 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,
You better take this little tip from me.
Chorus:
?Cause I look through the want ads every day,
But the headlines on the papers always say
If you ain't ...
