Текст песни Dear Okie - Hank Thompson

Dear Okie, if you see Arkie
Tell him Texas got a job for him out in Californy
Pickin' up prunes, squeezin' oil out of olives
Dear Okie, if you see Arkie
Tell him Texas got a job for him out in Californy
Rakin' up gold, playin' fiddle in the follies

Now he'll be lucky if he finds a place to live
But there's orange juice fountains flowing for those kids of his
So dear Okie, if you see Arkie
Tell him Texas got a job for him out in Californy
Diggin' oil wells, all he needs is a shovel

Dear Okie, if you see Arkie
Tell him Texas got a job for him out in Californy
Sellin' used cars, just a-waitin' for a sucker
Dear Okie, if you see Arkie
Tell him Texas got a job for him out in Californy
Handin' out checks as a welfare worker

If he takes the freeway to the grocery store
He'll make it fine if he starts out the day before
Dear Okie, if you see Arkie
Tell him Texas got a job for him out in Californy
Pickin' up prunes, squeezin' oil out of olives
